The government has drafted legislative changes under which drivers of motor vehicles powered by natural gas will be exempt from paying excise duties until the end of 2025, in a bid to pursue Slovenia’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in transport.
The Government Communication Office (UKOM) said on Wednesday that the changes aimed at encouraging the use of natural gas in transport. “This would result in competitive prices of natural gas for motor vehicles in Slovenia in comparison with the prices and rate of taxation in neighbouring countries,” UKOM added.
