Reclaim Excise Duty on Diesel in Europe: Maximize Fuel Savings

Fuel expenses are a significant operational cost for businesses operating heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and coaches over 7.5 tons. However, by reclaiming excise duty on fuel purchased in Europe, you can reduce your overall costs and improve profitability. This guide explains how excise duty refunds work and how Easytrip Transport Services can help you recover every eligible euro.

What Is Excise Duty on Fuel?

Excise duty is a tax imposed on specific goods, including diesel fuel, in European countries. This tax contributes to higher fuel costs for businesses operating in the EU. Fortunately, several EU member states offer refunds on excise duty for commercial fuel purchases.

For instance, in Belgium, businesses can currently claim a refund of €0.1935 per liter of diesel purchased (as of January 20, 2025). Similar opportunities exist in other European countries, making excise duty recovery an essential part of any fleet management strategy. Check the different rates.

The Benefits of Excise Duty Refunds

Recovering fuel excise duty in Europe has several advantages for transportation businesses:

• Lower Fuel Costs: Diesel excise refunds directly reduce your fuel expenses, boosting your bottom line.
• Improved Cash Flow: Regular claims on excise refunds provide consistent financial relief.
