Overview

• Economy Ministry Resolution 1253/2025, signed by Luis Caputo and published today, lifts the rate from 6.6% to 6.8%.
• The levy is applied to the natural gas price at the Punto de Ingreso al Sistema de Transporte per cubic meter of 9300 kcal, including self-consumption volumes.
• The cost is passed through to all end users nationwide via current tariff schedules, and distributors and marketers must apply it in exact incidence without recording gains or losses.
• ENARGAS is authorized to define the special billing procedures, with applicability starting for consumptions from the day those rules are published.
• The government says the increase reinforces the fiduciary fund that subsidizes residential gas in cold regions and situates the step within an energy-sector emergency and subsidy restructuring.
