Argentina Restarts Inflation-Linked Fuel Taxes With September Increase

The decree revives deferred updates in two stages, lifting pump costs as the government seeks to rebuild revenue.

El Gobierno aumentó una alícuota de la factura de gas para financiar subsidios a usuarios de zonas frías.
El recargo se cobra sobre el gas que se inyecta en los gasoductos.
Aumentos: luz, gas, nafta, agua, prepagas, colegios privados, alquileres, subte, colectivos.
Aumentará la carga que se trasladará a los usuarios residenciales

Overview

  • Decree 617/2025, published August 29, reinstates updates to the liquid fuels and CO₂ taxes that were postponed since 2024.
  • In September the tax step adds $10.523 per liter to nafta and $8.577 to gasoil, with CO₂ set at $0.645 for naftas and $0.978 for gasoil, plus a differential on gasoil.
  • The application is staggered: a partial adjustment from September 1–30 and the full backlog from October 1, while prior deferrals such as Decree 466/2024 are revoked.
  • Outlets estimate pump prices rise by about $10.52 per liter for nafta and $8.58 for gasoil in September from taxes alone, though station-level changes may vary with YPF’s dynamic pricing.
  • In parallel, Resolution 1253/2025 raises the Zona Fría surcharge at the PIST from 6.6% to 6.8%, and Resolution 357/2025 cuts the wholesale gas reference price by 5.49% for consumption from September, easing the wholesale charge but increasing subsidy needs.
