Gasoline in Ukraine will more than double in price
In the near future, fuel prices in Ukraine will rise significantly.
Energy market expert Sergei Kuyun said this on air at Ukrinform, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the expert, the price increase will affect gasoline the most.
“Now we are talking that VAT should increase from 7 to 20%, the excise tax on gasoline will increase the most - almost twice from the current 100 euros per thousand liters to 213, diesel fuel from 100 euros to 139,5 per thousand liters, and So far, the excise tax on liquefied gas remains unchanged - 52 euros per thousand liters.
We see that the biggest increase is expected for gasoline. If you simply recalculate this tax component, it will be approximately 11 hryvnia for gasoline, approximately 7,5 hryvnia for diesel fuel and up to 3 hryvnia for liquefied gas. Well, 11 hryvnia and 8 for diesel fuel are quite significant amounts. Of course, the market will not be able to swallow them in such a way that the consumer does not feel the rise in price,” Kuyun said.
