The «Comité national des hydrocarbures» (CNH) regulates fuel prices in Senegal. Their internet website appears to be offline as of April 2011.
According to an internet article (App. A1), the Senegalese government freezed fuel prices in March 2011. Facing rising import costs, this implicated lower VAT revenues.
"The National Committee for Hydrocarbons regulates prices based on an import-parity formula and reviews them every four weeks. Fuel price subsidies have incurred budgetary expenditures every year except 2010. There is no specific tax on kerosene, leading to a large price difference between kerosene and diesel. Government in Feb 2012 decided to reduce fuel taxes at an estimated cost of CFAF35 billion (0.5% of GDP)." (Source: Kojima, Masami.
