11th Virtual Meeting of the Community of Practice on Tax Expenditures | Fuel Tax Cuts in Response to the Energy Crisis

November 11, 2026 | By ATI, CEP & IDOS

The 11th virtual CoP meeting will focus on fuel and food tax cuts in response to the energy crisis.

Governments have introduced or extended fuel tax reductions and other measures to cushion the impact of rising fuel prices. While these measures can provide rapid and visible relief, they also raise questions about their effectiveness, fiscal costs, and distributional implications.

The 11th CoP meeting will focus on fuel and food tax cuts in response to the energy crisis. The discussion will look into the effectiveness, fiscal costs, and distributional implications of these measures, drawing on a recent policy brief by the World Bank, followed by country case presentations and an open discussion.

Program details and registration are available on the ATI website.
