Since last week, the news that the fuel tax will be implemented has been widely spread, and there are many contradictions and doubts about the specific plan and timing. In response to this, a authoritative person from the State Administration recently gave an exclusive interview to the Shanghai Securities News and made interpretations one by one.
- Name. "What we call 'fuel tax' is a broad concept. No matter what name the tax introduced in the future is called, nominally it is still 'fuel tax', and it is a kind of tax levied on fuel consumption." This person said.
Last week, there was a view that the tax and fee reform may replace the fuel tax collection with a significant increase in refined oil consumption tax. However, this official from the State Administration believed that whether it is called refined oil consumption tax or fuel tax in the future, its essence is the same. "Abroad, fuel taxes also appear in various forms, but they essentially all belong to fuel taxes."
