BILL · 1997–98 SESSION
SB 5697: Special fuel tax
Updating special fuel tax provisions.
Summary
- Finds that: (1) The current system for collecting special fuel taxes has allowed many parties to fraudulently evade paying the special fuel taxes due the state; and (2) by changing the point of collection of the special fuel taxes from distributors to suppliers, the department of licensing will have fewer parties to collect tax from and enforcement will be enhanced, thus leading to greater revenues for the state.
