  "textContent": "Fresh details have revealed the significant tax burden included in fuel prices across Pakistan, with a large portion of petrol and diesel costs attributed to government levies and duties.\n\nAccording to sources in the Ministry of Energy, approximately 32 per cent of the price of petrol consists of taxes, amounting to Rs 129.72 per litre. This includes Rs 23.72 in customs duty, Rs 103.50 in petroleum levy, and Rs 2.50 under a climate support levy.\n\nFor high-speed diesel, taxes make up around 21 per cent of the total price, translating to Rs 82.81 per litre. The tax structure includes Rs 51.62 in customs duty, Rs 28.69 in levy, and Rs 2.50 in climate-related charges.\n\nMeanwhile, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has announced further changes in fuel prices. Light diesel has been increased by Rs 17.30 per litre, taking its new price to Rs 287.54. In contrast, kerosene prices have been reduced by Rs 4.45 per litre, bringing the new rate to Rs 360.76.\n\nThe latest adjustments come a day after the government raised petrol and high-speed diesel prices, adding further pressure on consumers already facing rising living costs.\n\nThe post Fuel prices surge: here’s how much tax you pay per litre appeared first on HUM News English.",
