Government reviews windfall tax on diesel and ATF exports
Change
The government will review the windfall tax on diesel and ATF exports every fortnight.
Why it matters
The government has instituted a biweekly reassessment of the special additional excise duty on diesel and ATF, making export taxes adjustable every two weeks. This increases regulatory uncertainty for exporters and requires refiners, traders, and carriers to monitor and adapt pricing and export decisions more frequently.
Implications
- · Exporters face higher pricing and scheduling uncertainty from possible fortnightly tax adjustments.
- · Export volumes are further restricted by export duties intended to preserve domestic diesel and ATF supply.
Who is affected
- · Refiners and fuel exporters
- · Oil marketing companies (OMCs)
- · Airlines and aviation fuel purchasers
