About gasoline tax

It's a story that I felt like I knew but didn't know.、The price of gasoline includes gasoline tax.。Crude oil cannot be obtained in Japan, so most of it is imported.。In that case, it is somewhat understandable that national taxes will be required.。

Then there's the question of how much tax is placed on the gasoline you usually refuel.。I checked、per liter、

・Gasoline tax: 53.8 yen
・Petroleum and coal tax 2.8 yen
・Global warming countermeasure tax 0.76 yen
→Total 57.36 yen

This means that it is recorded as tax.。Therefore, even if the crude oil price falls, this 57.36 yen price will always be turned on.。Do you think this amount is high or low?

I think it's unavoidable to pay this much tax when we can't get oil and rely 100% on imports.。It would be difficult for the country to lower this amount because it would reduce tax revenue.。

this time、Now that I know the amount of this gasoline tax,、I was able to understand that even if I learned from the news that crude oil prices have fallen, it does not mean that gasoline prices will suddenly fall.。From the user's perspective, I think it would be nice if it were a little cheaper.、I can't control all this.。
