In a statement released on Saturday, December 14, EPRA noted that the prices include the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) per the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2020, and the adjusted excise duty rates for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.

“The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 4.46% from US$641.14 per cubic metre in October 2024 to US$612.53 per cubic metre in November 2024,” the statement read. 

The prices, which take effect tomorrow up to January 14, 2025, follow an October review, with no adjustments made in November.
