Effective September 1, 2022, Orange County has elected to change their method of computing local sales and use tax on motor fuel, highway diesel motor fuel, and B20 biodiesel sold as qualified fuel from a percentage rate method to a cents-per-gallon basis.

Also, beginning September 1, 2022, several localities have repealed the previously made election to compute local sales and use tax on motor fuel, highway diesel motor fuel, and B20 biodiesel sold as qualified fuel using a cents-per-gallon basis. In these localities, the local tax will instead be computed using a percentage rate method.

These localities 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.
