Finance Minister Nicola Willis has revealed plans are in place to unveil a package to help households with the cost of fuel.

She says more details will be revealed tomorrow, and she's worked with Inland Revenue and Treasury officials to develop this planned relief.

Willis explained that this plan won't go against the Government's fiscal strategy ahead of the upcoming election.

"We will be funding it from this year's Budget operating allowance...we are going to prioritise our Budget in order to be able to fund this in a temporary, timely and targeted way."
