A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4342 AS INTRODUCED 2-27-01
The bill would amend the General Sales Tax Act so that the state's sales tax would not be applied to any federal gasoline tax paid on gasoline at the time of purchase. (Currently, the state sales tax is applied on top of the federal gasoline tax.) Each year, the state treasurer would have to estimate the amount of sales tax not collected as a result of the exemption and that amount would be transferred from the General Fund to the State School Aid Fund.
