Slovakian Tax on Russian Crude Takes Next Step

OIL

Slovakia’s government has approved the finance ministry’s proposal for a special tax on Russian crude processed in the country.

  • The revenue will be used to raise budget revenue for state anti-inflation measures.
  • The bill next heads to parliament for a vote.
  • The tax is expected to be around 30% of the difference between the price of the Russian crude and that from other suppliers.
  • The country has one refinery that relies on Druzhba pipeline supplies from Russia. Slovakia has sought an exemption from the potential EU oil bank until the end of 2024.
