ANAREC criticizes government over fuel tax burden
ANAREC accuses the government of profiting from fuel taxes and calls for a reduction in the tax burden.

The National Association of Fuel Distributors, ANAREC, expressed concerns about the tax burden related to diesel, noting that out of every euro paid, 60 cents correspond to taxes. This statement was highlighted in various reports, emphasizing the need for a review of the government's fiscal policy.
The president of ANAREC reiterated that the government should reduce the tax burden on fuels, asserting that the current tax rate undermines the competitiveness of distributors compared to other countries, namely Spain. He warned of a price difference that can fluctuate between 30 to 40 cents.
Additionally, ANAREC criticized the government, accusing it of generating excessive profits through fuel taxes. This criticism was presented in several news platforms, which reported the association's position that high prices are unsustainable for both consumers and the market.

Through public statements, ANAREC emphasized that the current situation leads to a 'significant loss of competitiveness.' The association's president called for urgent action from the government, suggesting that a review of the tax burden is necessary.
Moreover, reports indicate that protests may be organized to highlight these concerns, with the GNR joining the efforts announced by the PSP. This demonstrates growing discontent within the fuel industry regarding taxation.
This issue has sparked considerable debate within ANAREC and among distributors, as the pressure for a change in fiscal policies continues to mount, especially in a context where fuel prices are a central concern for many consumers and businesses.
