Georgia Fuel Taxes

Motor Fuel Excise Tax

An excise tax is imposed at the rate of $0.075 per gallon on distributors who sell or use motor fuel in Georgia. Motor fuels that are not commonly sold or measured by the gallon, and are used in any motor vehicles on public highways, may be taxed according to their gasoline gallon equivalent. Propane and special fuels sold in bulk to a licensed consumer distributor are exempt from this tax. (Reference Georgia Code 48-9-3)
