Tax freeze fuels demand for kerosene heaters

AMMAN — The demand for kerosene and kerosene fuelled-heaters is skyrocketing after the government’s decision to freeze the tax imposed on kerosene this winter, according to sector representatives.

President of the Gas Station Owners Association (GSOA) Nahar Seedat told The Jordan Times that the demand for kerosene increased by 80 per cent since the government’s announcement of the tax freeze.

Meanwhile, demand for gas cylinders and diesel remained steady, Seedat said.
