Austrian fuel price brake benefits higher earners most, study finds

Original: Von der # Spritpreisbremse profitieren Besserverdienende am stärksten: Haushalte mit Monatseinkommen von mehr als 5.000

Austrian mobility body VCÖ says the fuel price brake disproportionately helps wealthier households. Households earning more than 5,000 euros a month buy on average 3.4 times as much fuel as those earning under 2,200 euros, meaning higher earners capture most of the relief from the measure. Critics are calling for the policy to be redesigned.

Why now: Ongoing debate in Austria about the fairness of the fuel price brake and calls to reform it
