All About Petrol Tax in Kolkata

What Is the Petrol Tax Levied in Kolkata?

As mentioned above, VAT on petrol in West Bengal remained unchanged, and it continues to levy approximately ₹ 19.27 per litre of petrol. This is because a significant proportion of a state’s revenue, around ₹ 8,000 crores (as of July 2021), comes from VAT on petroleum products.

Moreover, the reduced excise duty has already lowered petrol prices across the state by ₹ 5.82 per litre. This may provide relief to residents of Bengal; however, it will negatively affect the state exchequer.

Here is this table mentioned below that summarises tax breakup in Kolkata and sums up the petrol price in the city:
