Across East African countries, Kenya levies the highest taxes and levies on petroleum products per litre for the cycle spanning July 15 to August 14, 2025.
Super petrol in Kenya incurs a tax of Sh82.33 per litre, significantly higher than Tanzania's 50.64, Uganda's 52.30, and Rwanda's 30.69.
Similarly, diesel taxes in Kenya stand at Sh69.67, while Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda impose 44.59, 40.76, and 36.79, respectively.
For kerosene, Kenya's tax is Sh55.14, compared to Tanzania's Sh37.26.
The substantial difference in these figures is primarily attributed to varying tax levels in each country's jurisdiction, as reported by the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum.
