Fuels would rise again over the weekend: what would be the increase? – Economy

The likelihood of a drop in the price of fuel in December began to fade after the rise of the dollar, which has climbed nearly 10% in recent days, affecting 40 dollars of all banks in the country .

Rumors of a possible minimum came after the sharp drop in the price of crude oil, which worked yesterday at $ 60 a barrel, or 16% less than when oil companies had adjusted their local values ​​for the last time in order to reduce the price. achieve parity of imports.

However, the attack on the US dollar, coupled with the 8.34% increase in bioethanol and imminent tax adjustment coming into effect next month, could finally dispel this possibility and become a weekend. new climb, which would be the 15th of 2018.

Higher taxes would have an impact on prices
The new increase of naphtha would be $ 1.10, while that of diesel would increase by $ 0.75. The measure responds to the application of the quarterly increase of the fuel transfer tax (ITC) and the carbon dioxide tax (CDI), reported by retailers.

The new increase responds to the increase in the tax burden. The last adjustment of the ITC and IDC was applied in September and this amount is the one valid until November 30th. On December 1, this new adjustment will be applied until February 28. But in March 2019, these same taxes will be readjusted.
