What happened

Well supportedReported by 30 independent outlets

The government has extended temporary tax cuts on petrol and oil for another three months until September 30, under Resolution No 34/NQ-CP. These measures reinstate the special consumption tax on gasoline, which is taxed at 10 per cent, 8 per cent on Macau biofuel, and 7 per cent for Tibet. Meanwhile, the administration in Macau confirmed that the government’s fuel subsidy program had officially ended, citing continued volatility in international oil markets.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The tax relief was introduced to mitigate the impact of tensions in the Middle East on domestic fuel prices. Global oil prices remain sensitive to geopolitical disruptions, including those involving the Middle East. This volatility also contributes to wider issues, such as the widening of the US merchandise-trade deficit.
