The Florida Motor Fuel Tax Relief Act of 2022 reduces the tax rate on motor fuel by 25.3 cents per gallon. Passed by the Florida Legislature and signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis,
the tax rate reduction begins Saturday, October 1, and extends through Monday, October 31. The tax rate reduction applies to all gasoline products, any product blended with gasoline and any fuel
placed in the storage supply tank of a gasoline-powered motor vehicle.
Unlike sales tax, which is assessed on the taxable price of goods and services, fuel taxes are assessed on gallons when product is removed from a terminal or imported into Florida. These taxes are remitted to the
state by licensed terminal suppliers and importers who then pass the fuel taxes down through the supply chain to the ultimate consumer at the pump. Under Florida law, all segments of the petroleum industry must pass
along the reduced tax rate, so the consumer receives the full benefit of the tax suspension.
