Diesel oil tax value and taxed quantity in Germany 2018-2020
In 2020, the German government taxed approximately 41.6 million cubic meters of diesel oil, to an excise duty amount just under 19.6 billion euros. One cubic meter of diesel that year was worth around 470 euros in excise taxes. Overall, both taxed quantities and tax due had dropped down between 2019 and 2020. In March 2022, the German government had put in place tax cut measures to offset the fuel price inflation brought on by the war in Ukraine.
