Reduces the tax on gas used at home to help families pay less.
More detailed explanation
The bill aims to lower the tax on gas used at home to help families pay less. Before, only the fixed part of the bill had a reduced rate, but actual consumption did not. Now, all types of gas, such as cylinders and pipes, will have a 6% VAT. This should reduce inequalities, as those without access to natural gas, such as in rural areas, will benefit more.
