Ethanol-Blended Gasoline Tax Credit

June 08, 2004

Summary

This incentive is available to retail service stations at which more than 60% of gasoline sold and dispensed through one or more metered pumps is ethanol-blended beginning January 1, 2002. Eligible service stations will receive a tax credit of $0.025 (2.5 cents) per gallon for each gallon of ethanol-blended gasoline sold and dispensed through all metered pumps in excess of 60% of all gasoline sold. "Ethanol blended gasoline" is defined as "motor fuel containing at least 10% alcohol distilled from cereal grains."
