HA NOI (Biz Hub) — The Ministry of Finance (MoF) increased the import duty on oil and petrol yesterday by 7 to 11 per cent to touch 35 per cent.

Under Circular 03/2015/TT-BTC, the import duty on petrol will be raised by 7 per cent to 35 per cent, while taxes on kerosene and mazut will be bumped up 9 per cent and 11 per cent, respectively, to 35 per cent.

Meanwhile, the import duty on diesel has been raised to 30 per cent from the current 23 per cent. — VNS
