% of fuel paid in tax

[Gremlin]

Alright, you lot are a knowledgeable bunch... perhaps you can help my little brother for an assignment.

He needs to know what percentage of fuel is tax to the government (and on top of that, you would have GST as well), which I think has been covered, but I don't know if specific numbers have been mentioned?

Cheers

edit: not the proposed extra levies etc

That one is a little out of date, but if anyone else happens to need it, this should contain what you need: http://www.can.org.nz/policy/final/fuel-tax.pdf

Add a few cents tomorrow as the acc levy increases on petrol.

I heard rego is going up too, for the same reason...ACC levies.

When there were large raises in the cost of fuel in the UK - alot of petrolstations had big posters saying for every $20 (well GBP) you spend on fuel $16 is tax.

Please complain to your MP about the cost of fuel - not us.


Was really effective.


Acheived nothing - but stuck in peoples minds.

The only way to fix that is to kill more people - I'm off to go fix spikes to the Viva........

And can anybody tell me why a diesel vehicle costs more to rego than an equivalent petrol one???

"Because there is no accident levy on diesel or alternative fuels, owners of non-petrol cars face a steeper increase of $55.23 in their registration fees - of almost 25 per cent, to $336.69." scavved that from another thread earlier refering to rego increases...
