Application for financial compensation for agricultural or industrial/commercial diesel fuel purchased between 1 and 15 August 2022
Due to the exceptional increase in the price of petroleum products due to the global situation, the Government has decided to introduce, among other things, a temporary reduction of 7.5 cents/litre (including tax) in the price of diesel used:
- exclusively for agricultural, horticultural, fish farming and forestry work; and
- as fuel for industrial and commercial uses.
This measure, initially scheduled to run until 31 July 2022, has been extended until 31 August 2022.
The reduction of 7.5 cents/litre incl. VAT was applied automatically from 16 August 2022, so end consumers do not have to take any action.
In addition, for deliveries of diesel fuel for agricultural or industrial/commercial use between 1 and 15 August 2022, a refund procedure (described below) has been drawn up by the Ministry of Agriculture, Viticulture and Rural Development and the Ministry of the Economy.

The application pertains to:
- agricultural holdings, vineyards and vegetable farms; and
- industrial and commercial enterprises;
