The cost of these supplies is essentially the same as gas stations.
This week, the Rada supported the government's idea to abolish the excise tax on fuel and reduce the VAT rate on these products from 20% to 7%. This decision will lead to a reduction in gasoline prices, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
«This is a timely decision. We expect that at current oil prices, gasoline prices will be about 35 hryvnia/liter (today 43 hryvnia), for diesel fuel 37-38 hryvnia (today 44 hryvnia) & # 187;, & # 8212; Sergey Kuyun told RBC-Ukraine.
In addition, the expert noted, it is important that the Ministry of Economy has revised the formula that determines the level of the maximum markup for traders on gasoline A-95 and «diesel».< /p>
«If the formula had not been changed, it would not have made economic sense for traders to import oil products. The cost of these supplies is, in fact, equal to the prices at gas stations. This would lead to the washing out of working capital from traders, followed by a stoppage of work. It is important not only that the price will decrease, but that this opens up opportunities for work», — Kuyun explained.
Although the government's decision to cut taxes will not go unnoticed for the budget, this is an extremely necessary step on the eve of the start of the sowing campaign. Not to mention the fact that affordable prices for gasoline and diesel fuel, as well as the very fact of their availability at gas stations, will allow the economy not to stop, which is certainly important for a country at war.
