SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes to publish Russia jet fuel excise tax

Platts proposes to start publishing a jet fuel excise tax for Russia with effect from January 2, 2015. This value will be published in US dollars per metric ton. Russia is currently reviewing its tax code and plans to introduce an excise duty on jet from 2015. Currently, jet fuel is exempt from excise duty. If the jet excise duty is enforced, Platts intends to reflect it in its netback calculations.
