Motyka: Maximum prices on Monday at the earliest
The head of the Ministry of Energy, Miłosz Motyka, told PAP on Saturday that the announcement regarding maximum fuel prices will be published on Monday at the earliest, and prices at gas stations will change on Tuesday at the earliest.

In accordance with the regulations, the Ministry of Energy will publish maximum fuel price rates every day. However, stations will be able to apply prices lower than those set by the ministry.
Act amending, among others, The Act on Crude Oil Stocks introduces a mechanism for calculating the maximum fuel price that will apply at petrol stations. It will be determined according to a specific formula, including the average wholesale price of fuel on the domestic market, increased by excise duty, fuel fee, sales margin of PLN 0.30 per liter and VAT.
The regulation provides for imposing a daily information obligation on key market players to the Ministry of Energy in order to update rates on an ongoing basis.
The maximum price will be announced in the form of an announcement by the Minister of Energy and will come into force on the day following its publication. If announced before non-working days and holidays, the rate will apply until the next business day.
In turn, the amendment to the Excise Duty Act will enable a temporary reduction of excise tax rates on fuels by regulation until June 30. This will only apply to diesel oil and petrol.
According to calculations by the Ministry of Finance, the reduction in excise duty on fuel will cost the budget PLN 700 million per month, and the VAT reduction – PLN 900 million per month. (PAP)
