| description |
Recent World Bank analysis shows that
taxes on petroleum products are a critical source of
government revenue for low-income countries. And if the
experience of industrial countries serves as any guide, the
rates of these taxes will have to rise sharply as low-income
economies develop. But policymakers must be mindful of how
taxes (and subsides) affect the relative prices of fuels,
since too large a difference in process between products cab
lead to fuel switching and adulteration, adversely affecting
the government tax take and pollution levels. |
