[HIGHLIGHTS] After new biogas tax – public transport could get SEK 300 million in cost increases

An EU ruling states that biogas should be taxed. This could lead to public transport becoming SEK 300 million more expensive per year.

16 of the country's 21 regions use biogAs buses, and according to calculations from Swedish public transport, the new tax that has now been introduced will mean cost increases totaling SEK300 million per year, says the Swedish Public Transport CEO. The government writes on its website that they are working for the EU to change its decision. The ambition is to get new approvals for tax exemptions in place as quickly as possible.
