TAXES / SUBSIDIES OF FOSSIL FUELS

Government Policies
 Until recently, furnace oil and kerosene were provided to
the customers at subsidized rates
 Promote industrial growth / competitiveness
 Reduced energy cost for rural (non-electrified) households
 Further, increasing share of oil in electricity sector resulted
in cost escalation and therefore fiscal instruments were
used in managing the product prices.
 However, increasing importation of oil to cater for demand
growth severely affected the national budget that the
government was forced to remove almost all the
subsidies.
 Yet, compared to other imported commodities, the taxes
imposed for fossil fuels are lower in general.
