Bill > SB164

This bill eliminates certain tax discounts previously allowed to businesses in Alaska, specifically those related to the remittance of motor fuel taxes, tobacco taxes, and tire fees. Currently, dealers and users who collect and remit motor fuel taxes can deduct a small percentage, up to $100 monthly, to cover administrative costs. Similarly, licensees remitting tobacco taxes can retain a fraction of the tax due. Furthermore, the bill removes discounts previously offered on cigarette stamps, which were intended to compensate licensees for affixing them to packages, and also repeals provisions related to these discounts and other related tax collection procedures. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
