€25 bottled-gas support extended through December
Added 22 Oct 2026
The government has extended Botija de Gás Solidária support through 31 December 2026. Eligible economically vulnerable households can receive €25 per cylinder, for up to two cylinders a month and 12 a year. The announcement includes recipients of the electricity social tariff or qualifying minimum social benefits.
If you’re here: Check eligibility and the required proof before buying; the scheme's annual limit still applies even with the two-cylinder monthly allowance.

September fuel-duty proposal sought an extension to December
Added 18 Oct 2026
On 17 September, Cabinet approved a bill to extend the temporary fuel-duty reduction mechanism until 31 December 2026. The announcement said an extension would not itself create a further automatic tax reduction. This archive records the proposal at that stage; it does not establish its later parliamentary outcome.
If you’re here: Check current pump prices and enacted tax measures before budgeting for a journey; the September proposal did not fix retail prices.
