Islamabad: A detailed breakdown of fuel pricing has revealed that a significant portion of petrol and high-speed diesel prices in Pakistan consists of taxes, duties, and profit margins, according to official sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before taxes, the ex-refinery price of petrol stands at Rs246.31 per litre. However, after adding various levies, duties, and margins, the final consumer price rises to Rs399.86 per litre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to government sources, multiple components contribute to the final price structure. These include Rs23.72 per litre as customs duty and Rs7.32 as inland freight margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, oil marketing companies receive a margin of Rs7.87 per litre, while petrol pump dealers earn a commission of Rs8.64 per litre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A major share of the cost comes from government levies, with Rs103.50 per litre charged as petroleum levy. Furthermore, Rs2.50 per litre is imposed as the climate support levy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altogether, the combined taxes, duties, and profit margins amount to approximately Rs153 per litre on petrol, reflecting the heavy fiscal burden embedded in fuel pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For high-speed diesel, similar tax structures apply, with total taxes and margins reaching around Rs116 per litre, according to the same sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The breakdown highlights that a substantial portion of fuel prices paid by consumers goes to government revenues and distribution margins rather than refinery costs alone, raising continued debate over taxation levels on petroleum products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
