Germany to cut tax on fuel for two months amid Iran war energy shock: Merz

Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Monday that Germany would cut petrol and diesel taxes for two months to provide relief to households and businesses hit by the energy shock during the Middle East war.

"We will reduce... the fuel tax on diesel and gasoline by approximately 17 (euro) cents per liter for two months," Merz told a press conference after talks between his CDU party and its coalition partners.
