Eurodiesel 236 dinars, excise cut extended to Nov 15
Fuel prices are the same as last week, and Serbia's caretaker government has extended the 25 percent excise cut until November 15.
The maximum retail price of eurodiesel in Serbia remains 236 dinars per litre, and petrol stays at 207 dinars. The new prices apply from Friday, November 6, at 3 p.m. until Friday, November 13, at the same hour, and they are unchanged from last week.
On the same day, Serbia’s caretaker government extended the temporary 25 percent cut in excise duties on oil derivatives until November 15. The Finance Ministry confirmed the decision to the Beta news agency.
In brief
- eurodiesel: 236 dinars per litre, petrol: 207 dinars per litre
- prices apply until Friday, November 13, at 3 p.m.
- the 25 percent excise cut is extended to November 15, instead of November 8
What did the government decide on excise duties?
The previous excise cut was valid until November 8, so the deadline has moved back by seven days. The government made the new decision on November 6, two days before the earlier one expired. The price at the pump stays the same, and the lower excise, a tax charged per litre of fuel, remains in force for another week.
The news arrived in two parts. The maximum fuel prices were published around 12:30 p.m., and the extension of the excise cut followed shortly after 2 p.m.
How much is the excise duty per litre?
The published data lists three amounts: 57.41 dinars per litre for leaded petrol, 54 dinars per litre for unleaded petrol and 55.53 dinars per litre for gas oils. The data does not make clear whether these are the amounts before or after the 25 percent cut, so they are not interpreted here as one or the other. The issue of the Official Gazette in which the decision was published is not given either.
Those amounts imply that the excise on gas oils is 1.53 dinars per litre higher than on unleaded petrol, while leaded petrol is 3.41 dinars above unleaded. At the pump, the gap between eurodiesel and petrol is 29 dinars per litre: 236 against 207.
How long do the prices and the cut last?
New fuel prices are published every Friday by 3 p.m. The current ones apply until November 13, while the excise cut expires on November 15, two days later. The next decision on maximum fuel prices will be published on Friday, November 13, by 3 p.m. The excise cut therefore outlasts those prices by two days.
