South Korea extends fuel — tax cuts until end of November

SEOUL, Sept 18 (Reuters) — South Korea will extend fuel-tax cuts by two more months through the end of November, the finance ministry said on Friday. The current reductions of 15% on gasoline and 25% on diesel and butane will be maintained to help ease fuel costs amid Middle East-related oil price volatility, according to the ministry.
