Committee backs another year of farm diesel tax relief
Sweden’s parliamentary finance committee has backed continuing tax relief on diesel used in farming and forestry, with the measure costing the state SEK 630 million in 2027.
The Centre Party brought the initiative to the committee while Sweden is governed by a caretaker administration, TT reported on Tuesday. The reduction applies to machinery used in agriculture and forestry.
The relief has existed since 2022, but its continuation has required a new decision each year. The committee’s backing would preserve that reduced tax treatment for another year rather than create a new general discount for motorists.
The committee’s published meeting agenda listed an initiative to extend the diesel-tax reduction for farming and related industries for consideration on Tuesday. The reported decision is at committee level; it does not establish that parliament has passed the final legislation.
