"Pricing policy: The downstream petroleum sector was deregulated in 2000. In July 2007, Petroleum (Conservation) Act was amended to make Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA) the economic regulator of the sector. There is a regulatory levy on petroleum products to finance EWURA. Energy and Water Regulatory Authority (Petroleum Products Price Setting) Rules, published in Jan 2009, requires indicative and maximum prices to be issued; rules and pricing formulae were amended in Jul 2011. Prices were issued twice a month but switched to once a month in 2012. Currently price ceilings on gasoline, diesel, and kerosene are set for wholesale (one uniform price for each fuel) and retail (differing by region). Government removed VAT on petroleum products in the 2006/07 budget. Excise duties for diesel and kerosene were adjusted in Jul 2011 to narrow and even eliminate the price difference between the two fuels, which previously favored kerosene by a wide margin and led to large-scale adulteration of diesel with kerosene. In mid-Oct 2011, government reported that kerosene imports had fallen by two thirds and diesel imports rose by 50% as a result. Oil marketing companies complained in Aug 2011 that the new ceilings on Aug 3 forced them to operate at a loss, said they would operate at a loss for only 24 hours, and stopped selling for a week. After threatening to revoke licenses, government raised prices 12 days later, but not before suspending BP Tanzania’s wholesale license for three months. In Feb 2012, Director of the Environment Division in the Prime Minister’s Office said government was considering subsidizing LPG to stem deforestation.
