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:

Elements	Effective as of 23rd February (in ₹ per litre)
Price charged to dealers	₹ 48.23 per litre
Excise duty (levied by the Central Government)	₹ 27.90 per litre
Average dealer commission	₹ 3.47 per litre
VAT (levied by the State Government)	₹ 19.27 per litre {24.21% of (fuel price charged to dealers + excise duty + avg. dealer commission)}
Retail selling price of petrol at Kolkata	₹ 98.87 per litre
