gas tax

Indiana’s governor touted the states healthy economy as he extended the gas tax holiday for a fourth time, arguing that few other states have been in a position to do the same.

Gov. Mike Braun’s administration will make local governments whole for any gas tax revenues lost due to his suspension of Indiana’s fuel taxes since May, according to a Tuesday news release.

Gov. Braun on Wednesday announced a further extension of the gas tax suspension, touting the lowest prices at the pump in the country. Will it have consequences for Hoosiers down the road?

The move is expected to save Hoosier motorists 59.3 cents a gallon for the next month.

Indiana's sales tax on gasoline is poised to jump by 6.1 cents per gallon in May if Gov. Mike Braun doesn’t extend his temporary suspension of the tax.

Indiana's sales tax on gasoline will actually rise slightly starting Aug. 1 even though pump prices have dropped more than 11% from a month ago.

Indiana lawmakers plan to return to the Statehouse by the end of June to send $1 billion in surplus state revenues back to Hoosiers.

Gov. Eric Holcomb said he agrees with legislative leaders who are reluctant to pause the states gas tax. But he said he's planning on working with the General Assembly on inflation relief for Hoosiers.

Indiana has two taxes on gasoline -- the 7% state sales tax and a tax directed to infrastructure projects.

Motorists in Indiana are now paying about 56 cents per gallon in state taxes on gasoline — the highest-ever level shown in state records — and it will increase next month based on rising fuel prices.
