Zimbabwe: Temporary removal of diesel taxes

Temporary suspension of diesel taxes as a result of rising global fuel prices

June 1, 2026

The government of Zimbabwe announced (April 3, 2026) the temporary suspension of diesel taxes to combat rising global fuel prices and contain inflationary pressures.

The measure removes excise duty, the ZINARA road levy, carbon tax, and the strategic reserve levy on diesel, collectively amounting to US$0.54 per litre, while leaving petrol taxes unchanged.

The suspension aims to lower transport and production costs, stabilise prices of goods and services, and support economic activity amid global oil market disruptions.
