Fuel Excise Compensation: 40 cents/liter (Q4 2025) and 65 cents/liter (Q1 2026)
The Romanian Government has approved a new state aid scheme for road transport operators, aimed at compensating the increase in fuel excise duty and reducing the impact of operational costs on transport companies.
This measure applies to diesel fuel used in road freight and passenger transport, with the compensation levels set as follows:
- 40 cents per liter for diesel fuel purchased during
October 1 – December 31, 2025 (Q4 2025) - 65 cents per liter for diesel fuel purchased during
January 1 – March 31, 2026 (Q1 2026)
Who is eligible for the state aid
The scheme is addressed to economic operators who:
- carry out road freight or passenger transport activities,
- own eligible vehicles in accordance with applicable legislation,
- can justify diesel consumption through invoices and compliant supporting documents,
- comply with the conditions and deadlines established by the applicable legal acts.
How the compensation is granted
The compensation is not granted automatically. In order to benefit from this state aid, companies must:
- submit an application within the established deadline,
- prepare a complete file with supporting documents,
- comply with the administrative procedures imposed by the competent authorities.
In practice, many applications are delayed or rejected due to incomplete or incorrect documentation.
