Speaking on Accra-based Starr FM, Mr. Rockson said the government would be doing consumers a huge favour if it waves off the Special Petroleum tax.
“Crude oil prices increasing on the international market causes an increase in prices of finished products,” he stated.
“The indicators shows that fuel prices will increase again in the first pricing window in February unless of course Government intervene. If the Special Petroleum tax and the TOR debt recovery levy are removed, the prices of fuel will decrease by about 60 pesewas and that will bring a little comfort to consumers. Crude oil prices have been increasing steadily in recent times and that is why we see the increase in prices of fuel.”
