A new carbon tax is on the way, the government confirmed on Tuesday, at a time when households are already heaving under the pressure of rising fuel prices impacting the cost of living.

Permanent secretary at the finance ministry Giorgos Panteli told the Cyprus Mail that the new tax on fossil fuels is part of the so-called ‘green transition’ and comes as part of Cyprus’ commitments to the European Union – specifically the commitments under the national Recovery and Resilience Plan.

On paper, the government should impose the carbon tax by the end of 2023. But Panteli said that, in practice, Cyprus can get a small extension on that deadline.

“Probably sometime in the first quarter of 2024,” he said.

So this carbon tax will hit fuel ! 80% of our electricity is produced using fuel oil ( diesel ) or gas so electricity will go up too. The so called " green transition " never was a phrase so true !
Those at the top in the EAC making decisions could obviously see what was coming and deliberately chose the wrong path , they are now going to charge us for their incompetence! Of course with their salaries and perks these increases mean nothing to them . This is our society those at the top make decisions which only effect those at the bottom , oh ! No bread ! Let them eat cake instead !

Mouse, this is way above the levels of the numbnuts at the AIK. They arent even mere pawns but dipshyt tick stoogies to implement it.
