Panaji: It seems that there is no hope for all reliefs from skyrocketing fuel bills in Goa, because the state government has no intention of reducing value added tax (VAT) which can reduce prices.
“No,” said Chairman of the Pramod Sawant Minister when asked whether the state government planned to reduce gasoline prices in Goa.
Because prices continue throughout the country, gasoline remains only RS 4 far from a century sign, while Diesel stands at Rs 94 per liter in Goa.
Consumers have complained about the surge in fuel prices, which burn holes in their pockets.
In 2012, the former Head of the Chief of Manohar Parrikar kept gasoline prices under the Rs 60 / liter, and had reduced VAT to the motor Spirit to 0.5% from 20%, to provide assistance to ordinary people.
PPN and other central taxes and countries accounted for 67% of the price of gas stations, and 61% of retail prices for diesel.
As 4 short gasoline from RS 100-Mark, Sawant said he could not provide assistance
