Due to the early reduction of pumps due to the ICMS limitation, curiosity about the subject seems to have become even greater. For all drivers' expectations, the government's attempt to lower fuel prices may not have much effect, given recent increases in gasoline prices per gallon.
How to know how much is the price of gasoline without taxes?
On its website, Petrobras makes it clear how gasoline prices are set, starting with its own percentage rate of 39.3 percent. Let's assume that the price of a liter is R$ 7.23. Petrobras receives R$ 2.84 of this total. Federal taxes are also included in the calculation of the price, which account for 9.5% of the total and add up to approximately R$ 0.69.
According to this calculation, state taxes amount to 24.2% (about R$1.75). In addition, there is the cost of R$ 0.95 for the anhydrous ethanol component, 13.1% of the price. Last but not least, the participation of 13.8% of the distributors was valued at R$1.
Therefore, if the cost of gasoline were determined without taking into account federal and state taxes, gasoline would cost drivers an average of R$4.79 instead of R$7.23. But of course this is just one example, as the price of a gallon of gasoline usually ranges from R$8 to R$10.
