Petroleum products are unlikely to be brought under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) anytime soon, as doing so can cause states’ fiscal deficit to balloon, while also widening revenue losses for the Centre, two senior government officials told Mint.

The total taxation on petrol and diesel, including state-levied value-added tax (VAT) and the centre’s excise duty, comes to about 35%-50% (45%-50% for petrol and 35%-40% on diesel), one of the officials said.
