澳大利亚联邦政府将于8月2日午夜结束燃油税折扣政策1。该政策自4月推出后，已将燃油税率从52.6美分/升降至20.6美分/升1。政府估计这项措施损失收入25亿澳元，延期后还将额外损失4亿澳元1。
折扣政策的终止将直接推高加油站的油价。预计燃油价格在折扣结束后将上升16美分/升1。澳大利亚储备银行评估认为，燃油税减免措施曾有效降低通胀0.5个百分点1。从消费端看，这项优惠政策的效果已在数据中体现——4月和5月汽油消费量分别较往年同期下降7%和10%1。
Australia's federal government will terminate its fuel tax discount at midnight on August 2, 2025, marking the end of a cost-of-living relief measure introduced in April.1 The discount had reduced the fuel excise tax from 52.6 cents per liter to 20.6 cents per liter—a 60 percent reduction—and is estimated to have cost the government A$2.5 billion in lost revenue, with an additional A$400 million in losses from the extension period.1 Upon expiration, petrol prices are expected to rise by approximately 16 cents per liter.1
The discount has demonstrably affected consumer behavior and broader economic conditions. Petrol consumption fell 7 percent in April and 10 percent in May compared to the same months in previous years.1 The Reserve Bank of Australia estimated that the fuel tax cut reduced inflation by 0.5 percentage points.1 Oil prices themselves experienced significant volatility during the discount period, surging 32.8 percent in March before declining 35 percent thereafter.1
