'Carbon tax won't raise fuel price'

The introduction of a
carbon tax in January
2015 is not expected to
impact on the fuel price.
The National Treasury
earlier this month
published the Carbon Tax
Policy Paper for public
comment.
This was the second
and final round of
comments requested on
the carbon tax policy
before government
proceeds with the
publication of draft
legislation that will give
effect to carbon taxes.
According to Dave
Wright, a special adviser
to Engen, this tax,
which will be levied at
refineries, will not see the
price of diesel increase, as
refineries are not expected
to pass on the tax.
