Promulgated: more expensive diesel for heating from 2016
Today, November 27, 2015, the amendments on the Law on Excise Duties and Tax Warehouses were promulgated.
As of January 01, 2016, the red heating fuel will no longer be highlighted in colour.
What is more, the excise duty on energy products for heating jumps dramatically - until now, diesel for heating had an excise of 50 lv for 1000 l, but from next year this figure will be 646 lv.
The reasons are that in spite of the control of the Customs Agency and the GPS-tracking in real-time, the government believes that the consumers perform numerous abuses and the fuel is used for transportation purposes.
