Bill > S1924

This bill modifies the definition of "Tax per gallon" in Chapter 64J of the Massachusetts General Laws by changing how the excise tax rate for jet fuel (aviation fuel) is calculated. Specifically, the bill now defines the tax per gallon as equivalent to the tax rate levied on other types of fuel under Chapter 64A, Section 1. This means the tax on jet fuel will now be directly tied to the tax rate applied to other fuel types, potentially increasing the excise tax burden on jet fuel. The change appears to be aimed at standardizing fuel tax rates across different fuel categories and potentially generating additional revenue for the state by aligning jet fuel taxation with other fuel taxation methods.
