4 gasoline used in Indiana at the applicable rate specified in subsection
5 (b), except as otherwise provided by this chapter. The distributor shall
6 initially pay the tax on the billed gallonage of all gasoline the
7 distributor receives in this state, less any deductions authorized by this
8 chapter. The distributor shall then add the per gallon amount of tax to
9 the selling price of each gallon of gasoline sold in this state and
10 collected from the purchaser so that the ultimate consumer bears the
11 burden of the tax.
12 (b) The license tax described in subsection (a) is imposed at the
13 following applicable rate per gallon:
14 (1) Before July 1, 2017, eighteen cents ($0.18).
15 (2) For July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018, the lesser of:
2023 IN 1636—LS 7461/DI 120 2
1 (A) the rate resulting from using the factors determined under
2 IC 6-6-1.6-2; or
3 (B) twenty-eight cents ($0.28).
4 (3) Beginning July 1, 2018, and each July 1 through July 1, 2024,

7 (A) the rate in effect on June 30; multiplied by
8 (B) the factor determined under IC 6-6-1.6-3.
9 The rate shall be rounded to the nearest cent ($0.01). After June 30,
10 2018, the new applicable rate may not exceed the rate in effect on June
11 30 plus one cent ($0.01). However, the new rate may not be less than
12 the rate in effect on June 30. If the calculation of a new rate would

14 rate shall be the rate in effect on June 30. The department shall publish
15 the rate that will take effect on July 1 on the department's Internet web
16 site website not later than June 1.

29 of this chapter.
30 (4) Multiply the number of invoiced gallons remaining after
31 making the computation in subdivisions (2) and (3) by the tax rate
32 prescribed by section 201 of this chapter to compute that part of
33 the gasoline tax to be deposited in the highway, road, and street
34 fund under section 802(2) section 802(a)(2) of this chapter or in
35 the motor fuel tax fund under section 802(3) section 802(a)(3) of
36 this chapter.
37 (5) Multiply the number of gallons subtracted under subdivision
38 (3) by the tax rate prescribed by section 201 of this chapter to

30 chapter and would otherwise be deposited under subsection (a)(2)
31 and (a)(3), and notwithstanding subsection (a) or any other

23 After June 30, 2019, the new applicable rate may not exceed the rate
24 in effect on June 30 plus two cents ($0.02). However, the new rate may
25 not be less than the rate in effect on June 30. If the calculation of a new
26 rate would produce a rate that is less than the rate in effect on June 30,

37 received by a licensed supplier in Indiana for sale or resale in Indiana

7 tank steamers at boat terminal transfers and held in storage pending

9 equipment used in receiving and storing special fuel from interstate
10 pipelines pending wholesale bulk reshipment, shall not be subject to
11 tax.
12 (g) The department shall consider it a rebuttable presumption that
13 special fuel consumed in a motor vehicle plated for general highway
14 use is subject to the tax imposed under this chapter. A person claiming
15 exempt use of special fuel in such a vehicle must maintain adequate
16 records as required by the department to document the vehicle's taxable
17 and exempt use.

21 conjunction with the filing of a monthly report in the form prescribed
22 by the department.
23 (i) A person that receives special fuel that has been blended for
24 taxable sale or use in Indiana is secondarily liable to the state for the
25 tax imposed under subsection (a).
