The crude oil export duty will be reduced from $416.4 to $395.9 per metric ton starting Nov. 1 based on monthly monitoring of global oil prices, the Economic Development Ministry said Friday.
According to data posted on the ministry's website, the duty on light and dark oil products, which is established at 66% of the crude oil duty since October 2011, is set at $261.2 per metric ton. In October it was $274.8.
The export duty on gasoline, based on a coefficient of 0.9, went down from $374.7 to $356.3 per metric ton, while the duty on liquefied gas exports increased from $121.3 to $154.3 per metric ton.
Monthly duty adjustment procedures were introduced by the government in 2008 to respond more swiftly to changes in world oil prices.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
