• Minister says low fuel consumption played spoilsport in the plan to mobilise additional money

  According to Thomas Issac, Kerala’s minister of Finance low consumption of fuel foiled the plan of mobilising additional funds by keeping the rates of petrol and diesel high in the state. It needs to be mentioned here that Kerala’s tax revenue did not grow during the time of unprecedented fuel price rise i.e., between the months of April and October 2018. This came despite the fact that the state government had rejected the central government’s appeal to effect a matching cut in state taxes of Rs.2.50 per litre on petrol and diesel. The state government imposes a tax of 30.08 per cent on petrol and 22.76 per cent on diesel. 

  It is noteworthy to mention here that the tax collected in Kerala for the first six months of the current fiscal is Rs.3,175.69 crore. The amount collected in the first half of the fiscal year is about Rs.350 crore less than the half-yearly collection recorded in the previous fiscal.  

  The reason for the low consumption of fuel in the state was accounted to the fact that the turnout of heavy-duty vehicles was low and inter-state vehicles preferring to refill their vehicles from the border states. The rates of petrol and diesel in the states bordering Kerala were cheaper in the range of Rs.0.30 to Rs.0.50 per litre.
