SIZE OF EXCISE TAX ON FUEL INCREASED

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, /MONTSAME/ The Wednesday's cabinet meeting fixed size of the excise tax in a scope of a power given from parliament.
The government has increased size of excise tax imposed on A-80 auto fuel imported through border checkpoints of Sukhbaatar, Zamiin-Uud, Ereentsav and Altanbulag from MNT 120.000 to MNT 220.000; on AI-92 auto fuel--from MNT 170.000 to 220.000; and on diesel fuel--from MNT 115.000 to 215.000.
The excise tax on the same kinds of fuel imported through other border checkpoints will be not changed. As expected, such a step will not trigger a price rise.
