Petrol Tax per litre
Based on a price of $2.76 / litre in Auckland
The Prime Minister can blame rising living costs on ‘global conditions’ all she likes, but the cost of fuel is one thing she can control.
Taxes on a litre of petrol include:
70.024 cents in excise
6 cents in ACC levy
0.66 cents in Local Authorities Tax
0.6 cents in Engine Fuels Monitoring Levy
18.2 cents in ETS levy
0.076 cents in other levies
And in Auckland:
10 cents in Regional Fuel Tax
And charged on top of all taxes, plus the before-tax price:
15% in GST
This means the total tax on a $2.77 litre of petrol is $1.43 in Auckland and $1.31 in the rest of the country – about 52% and 48% of the average price, respectively.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
