The government takes about 20% of the price we pay for petrol/diesel.

Question

The government takes about 20% of the price we pay for petrol/diesel. Will it be permissible to pay 20% of the petrol cost with interest?

Answer

Since the 20% tax is not paid directly to the government, but is included in the price of the petrol, it may not be paid with interest.
