With some products, there was an increase in cost last year; however, it is now or recently that the increase as been passed onto the consumer. In these cases, an increase was needed.
We have seen an increase in petrol and the government blame it on the cost of a barrel of oil and on companies like Shell and BP. If the fuel tax was not that high, considering we have to pay VAT on it as well, the cost would be a lot cheaper.
