石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據當地媒體周四報道，為了應對高通貨膨脹，菲律賓將暫停第二輪成品油消費稅的上調，該政策于2019年1月1日杜特爾總統正式批準后生效。 《馬尼拉公報》周四報道稱，總統根據稅制改革法（TRAIN）已經正式批準暫停下一輪石油產品消費稅的上調。 這部法律由杜特爾總統于2017年12月19日簽署，并于2018年1月正式生效。菲律賓在2018年提高了燃油消費稅2.50比索/升，預計在2019年調至2.00比索/升，2020年將調至1.00比索/升。 《馬尼拉公報》報道：“最新的減稅措施是根據財政部長卡洛斯多明格斯領導的總統經濟小組的建議制定的?！?根據這份報告，明年暫停增稅意味著政府財政收入將損失400億比索。 根據TRAIN法，如果普氏能源提供的迪拜原油三個月的平均價格達到每桶80美元，菲律賓政府可以暫停增稅。 近期11月原油價格暴跌前的高油價和今年早些時候的消費稅被認為是導致該國通脹率上升的關鍵因素。 據菲律賓統計局的數據，10月份菲律賓的年通脹率保持在九年半以來最高的水平，為6.7%，與上月持平。 為了應對運輸業通脹率的上升，政府也采取了各種方法，例如銷售符合歐2標準的車用柴油。 自2016年1月起，根據國家1999年的清潔空氣法，石油公司被要求銷售至少符合歐4標準的燃料。歐4標準的柴油和汽油最高硫含量為50 ppm，而歐2標準的柴油和汽油最高硫含量為500 ppm。 通過菲律賓國家石油勘探公司（PNOC-EC），政府也承擔著為該國進口50 ppm硫含量的低價汽油提供原料的責任。 王磊 摘譯自 普氏能源資訊 原文如下： Philippines will halt the second round of excise fuel tax on refined products, which was due to come into effect January 1, 2019 after President Duterte formally approved the suspension, in a bid to grapple with high inflation, local media reported on Thursday. “The President has formally approved the suspension of the next round of excise tax increase on oil products under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law,” Manila Bulletin reported on Thursday. The law was signed by President Duterte on December 19, 2017, and came into effect on January, 2018. The excise tax on fuel was raised by Philippine Peso 2.50/liter in 2018, and was expected to rise to Peso 2.00/liter in 2019, followed by another Peso $1.00/liter in 2020. “The latest tax relief measure was upon the recommendation of the President’s economic team led by Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez,” Manila Bulletin reported. According to the report, the suspension of the tax hike next year, meant that the government coffers would lose Peso 40 billion in revenues. Under the Train law, the Philippines government can suspend the tax hike, if the three-month average price of S&P Global Platts Dubai crude oil price reaches $80/barrel. High crude prices before the recent slump in November, and the excise tax earlier this year, have been described as key causes for the country’s rising inflation level. For October, annual inflation rate in the Philippines stood at a nine and half year high of 6.7%, steady from the previous month, according to data from the Philippine Statistics Authority. To combat rising inflation in the transport sector, the government looked into various methods, such as the consumption of Euro 2 compliant automotive diesel oil. Since January 2016, and under the country’s Clean Air Act of 1999, oil firms are required to sell fuels that adhere to at least Euro 4 specifications. Euro 4 standards for both diesel and gasoline cap maximum sulfur level at 50 ppm while Euro 2 standards for both diesel and gasoline cap maximum sulfur level at 500 ppm. The government through the Philippine National Oil Company-Exploration Corporation, or PNOC-EC, was also tasked to source for low-priced 50 ppm sulfur gasoil for imports to the country. ?
