Change in computation of local sales and use tax on qualified motor fuel, highway diesel motor fuel, and B20 biodiesel in several localities

Effective June 1, 2022, several localities have elected to change their method of computing local sales tax on motor fuel, highway diesel motor fuel, and B20 biodiesel sold as qualified fuel. In these localities, the local tax will no longer be computed using a percentage rate method and will instead be computed on a cents-per-gallon basis.

 

The localities that have made the election and their new rates are identified in Publication 718-F, Local Sales and Use Tax Rates on Qualified Motor Fuel, Highway Diesel Motor Fuel and B20 Biodiesel.

 

The recently enacted New York State budget suspended certain New York State taxes on motor fuel and diesel motor fuel effective June 1, 2022. For more information on this topic, visit Suspension of certain taxes on motor fuel and diesel motor fuel.
