#Budget2020: Petrol and diesel to rise overnight as minister unveils series of climate change measures

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe has confirmed carbon taxes at midnight will increase to €26 a tonne, netting the government an extra €90m for the government next year.

While changes for diesel and petrol will come in over night, which are expected to add around 2c to a litre of fuel, extra taxes on home heating oil will be delayed until next May.
