Which countries bear the heaviest gasoline taxes? The most surprising to America
Gasoline prices have increased sharply globally in recent times and it seems that we may see a new peak in gasoline prices in the future. The main reason for the high gasoline price was crude oil when in just one year, the price of crude oil increased by one and a half times from 64 USD/barrel to 95 USD/barrel due to various reasons, including the stressful situation in Vietnam. Eastern Europe.
In addition, consumers have to buy gasoline at a high price depending on the petrol tax rate applied by the governments of the countries. In some countries, the amount of money that users have to spend to buy fuel is almost half to pay gasoline taxes. The best example of this is the UK where fuel is taxed twice (20% VAT inserted on petrol tax plus petrol price).
On the other hand, there are countries with almost no tax on gasoline, led by Indonesia, Brazil, the US and Canada. For each gallon of fuel (3,785 liters), users in the UK have to pay the government 3.49 USD (each gallon therefore costs 8 USD equivalent to more than 48,000 VND / liter) while users in Indonesia lose… 0.06 USD while Americans also lost only 0.1 USD.
In addition, diesel users in the UK are also subject to roughly the same tax rate as petrol users, while in other countries the tax on diesel is often much lower, even a quarter. Only a few isolated cases that do not fall under this rule are Mexico, the United States and Iceland.
The irony is that in the US where gasoline taxes are not too high, this country’s consumers are still crossing the border to Mexico to fill up gas where the amount of money they save is not small.
