COMAC calls for suspension of Section 136, warns of higher fuel prices

“COMAC believes Section 136 seeks to change the tax collection point rather than address the core issue, which in its view is the effective enforcement of existing controls,” the Chamber said.

The Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC) has called for the immediate suspension of Section 136 of the Customs Act, 2026 (Act 1179), warning that the new petroleum tax arrangement could increase fuel prices and threaten supply security.

COMAC is demanding the immediate and indefinite suspension of Section 136 and wants the existing tax collection framework maintained.
