After this, dealers have to pay excise duty of Rs 32.98 and VAT of Rs 19.55 (also includes VAT on dealer commission).
The average commission of the dealer was Rs 3.67. Adding to all this, the price of petrol was Rs 84.70 per liter on 16 January 2021.
In this way, a tax of Rs 52.53 was levied on one liter of petrol i.e. 62 per cent. Oil prices may vary from state to state as it attracts local sales tax or VAT (Value Added Tax). Apart from this, excise duty is also imposed on it which is a central levy.
