Pricing policy: Government sets wholesale prices according to a cost-plus formula. Government adopted a uniform pricing mechanism in Sep 2010, to be implemented in phases, for gasoline, diesel, and kerosene sold at filling stations. Uniform pricing is meant to be self-financing and achieved through the Rural Fuel Subsidy Fund. Recently prices have been adjusted infrequently, raising concerns that they may have fallen below cost-recovery levels. Government has frequently reduced or suspended excise taxes and customs duties on petroleum products, especially when the country’s sole refinery, Indeni, is shut down, such as in Oct 2009. There is a 25% import tariff. In August 2008, after the refinery shut down twice, oil companies began importing petroleum products directly. In Jan 2009, the import duty was increased from 5% to 25% to protect the refinery and Tazama Pipelines, which was left with a large inventory surplus.
