Customs duty on crude oil may be re-introduced

New Delhi: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley may look at reimposing five percent customs duty on crude oil imports to shore up revenues by USD 3 billion and create a level-playing field for domestic producers.

Presently, the government does not levy any import or customs duty on crude oil imports.

On the other hand, domestically produced crude oil attracts two percent central sales tax, something which imported oil is exempted from.

Given that there is no customs duty on imported crude oil, the CST levy places domestic producers at a significant disadvantage vis-a-vis imported crude, government sources said.

Thus, 20 percent of India's crude oil consumption that comes from domestic oil fields is taxed, whereas 80 percent of imported oil goes untaxed.
