โ€œDuring the review period, the maximum allowable pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene have each decreased by Ksh0.79, Ksh0.11 and Ksh0.80 per litre, respectively,โ€ the statement added.

According to EPRA, the prices include a 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) and the revised excise duty rates adjusted for inflation.

โ€œThe prices are inclusive of the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024 and the revised rates for excise duty adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020,โ€ the statement further read.
