# Brazil Extends Federal Fuel Tax Exemptions and Ethanol Subsidy to December 9

> Brazil plans to extend federal tax exemptions on gasoline and ethanol, along with an additional ethanol subsidy, through December 9, 2026. The 30-day extension is estimated to cost R$3.57 billion, with the government planning to offset it through additional oil-sector revenues, including an oil export tax extended through December 31.

## Why it matters

Keeping gasoline taxes at zero while subsidizing ethanol is intended to maintain ethanol’s competitiveness and support domestic biofuel consumption. It may sustain ethanol demand, though the impact on feedstock prices is indirect and depends on fuel-market response.
