Petrobras Share

Get to know the journey of Oil to understand the price of gasoline in Brazil.

Producing the fuel you use today starts with the discovery of reservoirs and the construction and installation of platforms up to 300 km from the coast, to extract the oil that is up to 7 thousand meters deep. From there, the oil goes to refineries, where it is transformed into derivatives, including gasoline.

The data are public, and you can consult them whenever you want, here or on the ANP website.

Taxes

After the refinery, the gasoline is sold to distributors, and taxes are included.

After being produced, the fuels are sold to distributors, at which time the  taxes on the fuel are added. The federal tax on gasoline is formed by CIDE, PIS/PASEP and COFINS.¹

In addition to them, the state tax is also added, in this case, the ICMS, which is incorporated into the amount charged at refineries following the tax substitution rule and considering the Weighted Average Price to the Final Consumer (PMPF) defined by the States.

1. CIDE and PIS/COFINS levied on the sale of gasoline A equals to R$ 0.8925 per liter; PIS/COFINS levied on the sale of anhydrous ethanol equals to R$ 0.1309 per liter.

Anhydrous ethanol share

Now, distributors add anhydrous ethanol to resell the product to consumers.

The addition of ethanol is a legal obligation for fuel distributors. Today, Law No. 8,723, of 1993, authorizes the percentage of 27% of anhydrous ethanol in regular gasoline and the percentage of 25% in premium gasoline.² The price of ethanol³ is freely negotiated between distributors and producing plants.
