| | Fuel tax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | While state fuel taxes had been around for more than a decade, the first federal gasoline tax in the United States was created on June 6, 1932 with the enactment of the Revenue Act of 1932 with a tax of 1 cent/gal (0.3¢/L). | | | The federal government receives its share through the excise tax (10 ¢/L) and the Goods and Services Tax (7% of the whole price, taxes included - it is a tax on a tax). | | | In addition to this there is sometime provincial sales tax, such as in Quebec (a tax on a tax on a tax), and in larger urban centers there is a transit tax. |

| | Optimum gasoline tax |
| | Since the amount of the gasoline tax is identical regardless of the income of a driver, the tax imposes a much higher burden on low-income people; and therefore, the tax burden is "regressive" rather than progressive, such as the income tax. | | | One purpose is for the government to collect revenue in a less painful way by spreading the tax burden over a year, instead of requiring a lump sum payment such as the income tax. | | | Tax on gasoline serves both purposes, i.e., to raise revenue for use on highways and to discourage its consumption to a certain degree in order to minimize its harmful effects on society. |

| | Any would-be tax cutter faces a basic problem: Taxes are at a historical high as a percentage of national income, and the government is running a budget surplus, but cutting taxes somehow seems fiscally irresponsible. | | | Let's cut income taxes by 10% and finance it with a 50-cent-per-gallon hike in the gasoline tax. | | | A gas tax is an indirect way of making people pay when their massive vehicles impose risk on others, which in turn makes them take account of this risk when choosing whether to buy some monster urban-assault vehicle or go with a sensible compact. |

| | America's Debate -> Gasoline Tax |
| | Such a tax could also be made progressive by figuring out how much of a burden to the average family of consumers that would be, and relieving that burden with a combination of lowered income taxes and direct universal rebates. | | | Economically, such taxes are known as Pigouvian Taxes. | | | Ol Sarge (and OLS) I agree with the fear of allowing new taxes, however we as a nation should realize that some taxes are better than others, and should shift taxes, as we can, from productive activities wages (income, payroll) and investment (dividends, corporate income taxes) to non-productive activies. |

| | Alternatively, the taxes can be returned to consumers on a uniform basis of car ownership as of a specific date, which eliminates the paperwork (since all the Feds have to do is consult the DMV databases of each state and territory), but this option ignores differences in gasoline consumption. | | | In May, Nevada Democrats decided a gasoline tax rebate -- not a lowering of tax rates -- was an excellent way to return a surplus to the people. | | | But Shephard's paper indicates that although the percent of income taken from low and middle income earners is about the same, the gas tax takes a smaller percentage from high income earners than low or mid income earners. |

| | The tax is expected to raise almost $3 billion this year, with three-fourths of the revenue going to highways and one-fourth to education, as required by the state constitution. | | | The tax, last increased in 1991, is a major revenue-raiser for highways and the public schools, but the state hasn't cashed in on the high gasoline prices of recent years because tax revenue — which is based on quantity, not price — has been relatively flat. | | | Krusee said the tax rate could be tied to a highway construction cost index or some similar measure. |
