China explained more on fuel consumption taxes hikes Friday after revealing a seven- to eight-fold increase on gasoline and diesel products a day earlier, part of a reform of fuel taxation and pricing approved along with slashing retail fuel prices.

The ministries said the country would exempt consumption tax onethanol gasoline produced with imported and already-taxed domestic oil, and ethanol gasoline produced with domestic gasoline would be taxed for gasoline used in the production only.

Consumption tax on naphtha, solvents and lubricant oil would be raised from 0.2 yuan (almost three U.S. cents) to one yuan per liter, and tax on jet kerosene and fuel oil would rise from 0.1 yuan to 0.8 yuan per liter, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and Ministry of Taxation said in a joint statement Friday, offering more details of the day-earlier announcement.

The National Development and Reform Commission said late Thursday that the country will raise the gasoline consumption tax from the current 0.2 yuan to one yuan per liter and diesel consumption tax from 0.1 yuan to 0.8 yuan per liter.

The two ministries also said consumption tax on imported naphtha would be reinstalled, while tax on jet kerosene would be temporarily postponed.

An unidentified MOF official said such adjustments of consumption taxes on fuel products are aimed to play a role in promoting energy conserving and economic restructuring, and ensuring equal share of tax burdens among users.

In addition, consumption tax on naphtha produced domestically and used for production of ethylene and aromatic hydrocarbon products would be exempt by the end of 2010, according to the statement. Tax already paid on imported naphtha for the same usages would be returned, it added.

Ethanol gasoline, methanol gasoline and biodiesel products are all mixture of gasoline or diesel with ethanol, methanol or biodiesel.

Taxes on gasoline and diesel products used in producing methanol and biodiesel products could be deducted from the total tax for the finished products, the two ministries said.

A ship carrying about 40,000 litres of diesel has sunk during a fierce storm off Phuket, raising concerns about the possible effects of an oil spill.

Pol Lt Col Panya Chaichana, chief of the Phuket marine police, said the Choke Thaworn 6 capsized and went down in a heavy storm about 18 kilometres off Chalong bay in Phuket yesterday.

There were no casualties. All four crew members on board were saved by the marine police.

Wannakiat Taptipsaeng, director of the Phuket Marine Biological Centre under the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, said heavy storms had impeded efforts by the centre’s officials to take samples of water tainted by oil from the ship and to assess the impact the oil spill may have on the marine environment.

The ship sank near healthy coral reefs and areas for breeding giant clams, which is carried out by the department, Mr Wannakiat said. He was concerned that an oil spill could have a damaging effect on the growth of giant clams and the coral reefs.

However, Mr Wannakiat said it was fortunate that it was only diesel from the ship’s engine that had spilled into the sea. The fuel in the tanker is sealed and not spilled out.

Elsewhere, heavy downpours yesterday affected ancient sites in Nan and Ayutthaya.

In Nan’s Phu Phiang district, several days of persistent rain had caused several brass sheets, known as thong changkot, that were wrapped around the ancient Phrathat Chae Haeng pagoda to come off.

Siripat Boonyai, an archaeological official attached to the Fine Arts Department, said experts from the department will be sent to repair the famous pagoda as quickly as possible.

She said large sums are required for the repair work and public donations would also be needed to help cover the costs of repair.
