Fuel-Marking Programs: Helping Governments Raise Revenue, Combat Smuggling, and Improve the Environment

Asian Development Bank | October 2015
Abstract
National fuel tax and subsidy programs that are implemented in Venezuela, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines create opportunities that are exploited illegally, robbing nations of much needed fiscal revenue. While fuel-marking systems have been in use since the 1950s, recent developments in marker technologies, coupled with advances in analytical capacity, now provide the technical foundation for extremely accurate and effective fuel-marking programs.
