The Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has moved to reduce the fuel surcharge rate charged on electricity amid increasing fuel prices.
According to the Agency for Public Information- API, the customs service charge is to be waived from all fuel purchased by Vinlec.
This will result in a reduction of the fuel surcharge being charged to consumers, the API says.
The move announced on Thursday (April 28) comes as the government announced a package of relief for SVG to take effect from May 1st for the next 3 months.
The other relief measures include a reduction on excise duty on diesel and gasoline which will be cut by 50% resulting in savings of $1.05 on diesel and $1.50 on gasoline.
According to the API, a small reduction in the price of cooking gas will also be realized.
