Formula basis

Fixed tax = liters × entered rate (−1 selects JPY 0/L); petroleum-related tax = liters × JPY 2.8; consumption tax = retail total × rate ÷ (1 + rate).

Calculation method

This calculator separates a tax-inclusive kerosene price into an entered fixed tax, JPY 2.8/L petroleum-related tax, and consumption tax.

Exclusions and checks required

  • It does not classify feedstock, use, exemptions, or the legal incidence of petroleum-related taxes along the distribution chain.
  • Because the fixed rate can be overridden, users must verify that the entered rate is official for the transaction.
