  "summary": "The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has imposed a Federal Excise Duty of Rs 80 per litre on three petroleum products - petroleum top naphtha, white spirit/mineral turpentine oil (MTT), and solvent oil - from July 1, 2026. The FBR issued sales tax budget instructions to field formations to curb adulteration in petroleum products through Federal Excise Duty (FED) intervention. These three petroleum products are not chargeable to the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) but are being charged FED due to unscrupulous elements mixing them into PDL chargeable products and selling at higher prices. The FBR has also provided an exemption mechanism for industries using these products as industrial input materials, provided both the supplier and the manufacturer are integrated with the Board’s computerized system for issuance of digital invoices.",
