2019年菲律宾将暂停上调燃油消费税

中国石化新闻网讯 据当地媒体周四报道,为了应对高通货膨胀,菲律宾将暂停第二轮成品油消费税的上调,该政策于2019年1月1日杜特尔总统正式批准后生效。 《马尼拉公报》周四报道称,总统根据税制改革法(TRAIN)已经正式批准暂停下一轮石油产品消费税的上调。 这部法律由杜特尔总统于2017年12月19日签署,并于2018年1月正式生效。菲律宾在2018年提高了燃油消费税2.50比索/升,预计在2019年调至2.00比索/升,2020年将调至1.00比索/升。 《马尼拉公报》报道:“最新的减税措施是根据财政部长卡洛斯多明格斯领导的总统经济小组的建议制定的。” 根据这份报告,明年暂停增税意味着政府财政收入将损失400亿比索。 根据TRAIN法,如果普氏能源提供的迪拜原油三个月的平均价格达到每桶80美元,菲律宾政府可以暂停增税。 近期11月原油价格暴跌前的高油价和今年早些时候的消费税被认为是导致该国通胀率上升的关键因素。 据菲律宾统计局的数据,10月份菲律宾的年通胀率保持在九年半以来最高的水平,为6.7%,与上月持平。 为了应对运输业通胀率的上升,政府也采取了各种方法,例如销售符合欧2标准的车用柴油。 自2016年1月起,根据国家1999年的清洁空气法,石油公司被要求销售至少符合欧4标准的燃料。欧4标准的柴油和汽油最高硫含量为50 ppm,而欧2标准的柴油和汽油最高硫含量为500 ppm。 通过菲律宾国家石油勘探公司(PNOC-EC),政府也承担着为该国进口50 ppm硫含量的低价汽油提供原料的责任。 王磊 摘译自 普氏能源资讯 原文如下: Philippines will halt the second round of excise fuel tax on refined products, which was due to come into effect January 1, 2019 after President Duterte formally approved the suspension, in a bid to grapple with high inflation, local media reported on Thursday. “The President has formally approved the suspension of the next round of excise tax increase on oil products under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law,” Manila Bulletin reported on Thursday. The law was signed by President Duterte on December 19, 2017, and came into effect on January, 2018. The excise tax on fuel was raised by Philippine Peso 2.50/liter in 2018, and was expected to rise to Peso 2.00/liter in 2019, followed by another Peso $1.00/liter in 2020. “The latest tax relief measure was upon the recommendation of the President’s economic team led by Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez,” Manila Bulletin reported. According to the report, the suspension of the tax hike next year, meant that the government coffers would lose Peso 40 billion in revenues. Under the Train law, the Philippines government can suspend the tax hike, if the three-month average price of S&P Global Platts Dubai crude oil price reaches $80/barrel. High crude prices before the recent slump in November, and the excise tax earlier this year, have been described as key causes for the country’s rising inflation level. For October, annual inflation rate in the Philippines stood at a nine and half year high of 6.7%, steady from the previous month, according to data from the Philippine Statistics Authority. To combat rising inflation in the transport sector, the government looked into various methods, such as the consumption of Euro 2 compliant automotive diesel oil. Since January 2016, and under the country’s Clean Air Act of 1999, oil firms are required to sell fuels that adhere to at least Euro 4 specifications. Euro 4 standards for both diesel and gasoline cap maximum sulfur level at 50 ppm while Euro 2 standards for both diesel and gasoline cap maximum sulfur level at 500 ppm. The government through the Philippine National Oil Company-Exploration Corporation, or PNOC-EC, was also tasked to source for low-priced 50 ppm sulfur gasoil for imports to the country.
