How much the Government gets for you to fill up your car

So when are around $2.50 a litre, how much money does the Government get from you to fill up a 50 litre car?

  • National Land Transport Fund $31.51
  • $16.31 (on a $2.50 retail price)
  • Regional Fuel Tax (in ) $5.00
  • Levy $3.00
  • Local Authorities Fuel Tax $0.33
  • Engine Fuel Monitoring Levy $0.15

But that isn't all. To pay for the $125 petrol bill, you need to (if top tax rate) earn $186.57 which means there was also tax of $61.57.

So every-time you spend $125 filling up the car with petrol, the Government will have got $117.86 as you will have had to have earned almost $190 to pay for it!
