Petrol Tax per litre

Alan from Birkdale

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.
