The Average Price of a Liter of Gasoline in the Country Is 72.4% Composed of Federal and State Taxes and Petrobras’ Share

Through an online platform launched by Petrobras, it is possible for the population to access how fuel prices are composed until they reach the final consumer. According to the company’s page, the average price of a liter of gasoline in Brazil, between May 22 and 28, was R$ 7.25. Of this amount, it is noted that 72.4% corresponds to taxes and Petrobras’ share.

According to the information released, the price of a liter of gasoline is made up of five parts, namely: Anhydrous Ethanol Cost; Distribution and Resale; Federal Taxes; State Tax; and Petrobras’ Share.

Thanks to the Complementary Law No. 192/2022, which froze federal taxes on diesel until December 31, 2022, no federal taxes are being charged on diesel, unlike what happens with gasoline.

Thus, the price of diesel is composed of four categories, namely: Biodiesel; Distribution and Resale; State Tax; and Petrobras’ Share. The national average price per liter of this fuel is R$ 7.05.
