The Government yesterday decided to raise the excise tax on two types of fuel imported through Sukhbaatar, Zamiin-Uud, Ereentsav and Altanbulag border points. The tax on diesel, recently totally withdrawn, will now be MNT130,000 per ton and that on AI-92  MNT250,000 in place of the present MNT230,000. The increases take effect on March 11.
The tax on A-80 remains MNT160,000 and there is no change in tariff for fuel imported through other border points.
