Taborian explained one day how to calculate the price of the fuel: For the current month, he computes the price based on the mean price of last month (International daily price).
However, this is not the problem, the real problem is the TVA and tax fixed by Fouad Elsaniora since 1996 and NOT by Tabourian. It is about 117% of the price.
MP Mozaya (C&R) tried several time to cancel the % of the TVA and the tax, but finally we saw who was against (ta3tel el jalsait), especially Antoine Zahra and others who said on the TV that they are against such a reduction if there is no replacement.
Why the replacement is not the cigarette or the alcohol? Why one Marlboro costs only 1$ in Lebanon (7a2 rabtet khebez).
If I work in Lebanon and I have to move from my home to my work, so I pay for the fuel and therefore the high tax.
If the cigarettes are expensive in Lebanon, it is an option to pay or not (without smoking I will be alive, but without working I will end with the street)
In Lebanon, idiots like Saniora add tax and TVA on the darouriyait, whereas the Kamaleyaite are free of tax. |
