Alteration of Fuel Prices in Kazakhstan: Expect Variations for Gasoline and Diesel
Revised Article:
Hey there! Here's some fresh intel on the latest updates to the Kazakhstan government's taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel. Starting May 11, these taxes are gonna get a shake-up, as reported by our site.
Gasoline (except aviation), diesel fuel, gasohol, benzanol, neftras, light hydrocarbon mixture, and eco-fuel have all seen their excise duties revised as per the new decree. These changes apply to both wholesale and retail sales.
Now, let's talk about the rates for wholesale sales. Producers and importers will face these rates:
- 38,134 tenge per ton of gasoline, benzanol, gasohol, neftra, and eco-fuel
- 35,726 tenge per ton of diesel fuel
As for retail sales by producers, here are the rates:
- 38,634 tenge per ton of gasoline, benzanol, gasohol, neftra, and eco-fuel
- 35,786 tenge per ton of diesel fuel
And for retail sales by individuals or legal entities, as well as personal use, the rates are noticeably lower:
- 500 tenge per ton of gasoline, benzanol, gasohol, neftra, and eco-fuel
- 60 tenge per ton of diesel fuel
A while back, Minister of Energy Yerlan Aukenov shared some interesting insights. He mentioned there's no need for an increase in gasoline and diesel fuel prices in Kazakhstan. Since February, the country has actually abolished state regulation of these prices. Now, the cost of fuel is determined by domestic demand and supply.
So, what does this mean for us? Well, it’s still unclear how these changes will impact the overall cost of fuel, but it's definitely food for thought. If you want more auto news, tune into our Instagram and TikTok!

- It seems that these tax revisions on gasoline and diesel fuel in Kazakhstan could potentially influence the rates within the lawless, industry of energy finance.
- The Kazakh prerequisites for refinery operations, under the new decree, outline tax rates that differ for wholesale and retail sales, emphasizing the distinction between producers, importers, and individual or legal entities.
- Since Kazakhstan abolished state regulation of fuel prices in February, one might wonder what the effects on the overall cost of fuel, especially compared to international standards, will be as a result of the revised tax rates for various types of fuel.
- Given that the Kazakh government's recent tax reforms aim to promote a shift towards greener alternatives, it will be intriguing to see how the energy sector evolves in the lawless, industry of finance, and how it contributes to the future of Kazakhstan's energy landscape.
