Government reduces windfall tax on domestically-produced crude oil to ₹5,200/tonne, while SAED on fuel exports remains unchanged
The government has reduced windfall tax on domestically-produced crude oil to ₹5,200 per tonne from ₹5,700 with effect from June 1.
The tax is levied in the form of Special Additional Excise Duty (SAED).
SAED on the export of diesel, petrol and jet fuel or ATF, has been retained at 'nil'.
The new rates are effective from June 1, an official notification said.
India first imposed windfall profit taxes on July 1, 2022, joining a host of nations that tax supernormal profits of energy companies.
The tax rates are reviewed every fortnight based on average oil prices in the previous two weeks.
