Detailed Report

  • The Petroleum Levy Rebalancing: The federal government has executed a major structural readjustment in the petroleum levy rates applied to mainstream fuels across the country. According to official sources within the Ministry of Energy's Petroleum Division, the state has systematically decreased the inland tax burden on motor gasoline (petrol) while simultaneously implementing a sharp fiscal increase on high-speed diesel (HSD).
