Petroleum products subsidy
The NSW Treasurer, The Hon. Eric Roozendaal MLC, has announced changes to taxes, duties and benefits as part of the 2008 Mini-Budget. Read more information on the changes announced in the 2008 Mini-Budget.
Under the Petroleum Products Subsidy Scheme Act 1997, NSW pays subsidies in five northern NSW zones which extend south from the Queensland - NSW border.
The subsidy scheme is designed to ensure that NSW sellers of eligible petroleum products are able to compete fairly with Queensland petroleum re-sellers where the Queensland Government subsidises on-road fuel.
