The fuel equalisation system applied to petrol will be lifted on 1 October. Calculations including SCT and VAT indicate the rise to be reflected in a litre of petrol may reach 12.48 lira.
With the end of the system, the special consumption tax (ÖTV) taken per litre of petrol may rise from 4.43 lira to the legal limit of 14.83 lira. If the Treasury and Finance Ministry takes no new decision, the increase is expected to feed into pump prices from 1 October.
