유류세 인하, 4개월 연장...인하 폭 7%로 축소<br /><br />Korea's temporary tax break on fuel, which was supposed to end on May 6th, will be extended by 4 months, until the end of August. <br /> According to the finance ministry,... the fuel tax cut will, however, be reduced to 7 percent from the current 15 percent. <br />Financial authorities say the extension is to help ease the burden of rising global oil prices on households and small businesses.<br />The smaller discount means the price of unleaded gasoline, starting May 7th, will go up by around 6 U.S. cents a liter.<br />Over the next four months, the cuts are expected to cause a fall in revenue of around 5-hundred 25-million U.S. dollars. <br />
