Consumer groups have called for cuts to fuel excise taxes, arguing that recent retail price reductions fail to address the structural causes of high oil prices.
The Thailand Consumers Council's subcommittee on public services, energy and environment, the Thailand Watch Foundation, the Thai Energy Reform network and the Butterfly Effect group on Sunday jointly urged Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul to order an immediate cut in fuel excise taxes, describing the recent price reductions as temporary and misleading measures that mainly benefit oil refiners.
