Nebraska gas tax going up nearly a penny beginning Jan. 1
By Lincoln Journal Star, Neb. (TNS)
Nebraska drivers will pay the state nearly a penny more per gallon to fill their tanks beginning Jan. 1.
The Nebraska Department of Revenue announced Monday that the state motor fuels tax will rise to 30.4 cents per gallon on Jan. 1, up from 29.6 cents per gallon currently.
The change was triggered by the variable tax rate, which is set to bring in the amount of money budgeted for highway and bridge construction and maintenance.
In addition to the variable tax rate, components of the state gas tax rate are the wholesale tax rate and fixed tax rate. The wholesale tax rate will drop Jan. 1 from 13.3 cents to 13.2 cents.
The State Highway Trust Fund gets money from three sources: gas taxes paid at the pump, sales taxes paid on motor vehicles and a portion of each motor vehicle registration.
