  • Arkansas Code Title 26

    Chapter 64 WHOLESALE SALES TAX ON FUEL; 26-64-101. Wholesale sales tax on motor fuel.

    This creates a new chapter establishing the wholesale sales tax specifically on motor fuel.

  • Arkansas Code § 26-64-101

    (a)(1) "Average wholesale selling price" means the United States Gulf Coast regular average wholesale selling price of motor fuel as published in an index by the Energy Information Administration within the United States Department of Energy or other similar reliable index if the index published by the Energy Information Administration within the United States Department of Energy is no longer available; and (2) "Motor fuel" means the same as defined in § 26-55-202.

    This requires the Director to establish the tax rate based on historical averages, operationalizing the new tax.

  • Arkansas Code § 26-64-101

    (d)(2) The wholesale sales tax rate calculated under this subsection is effective for the twelve-month period beginning on October 1 of the year in which the calculation is made under this subsection.
