7 24 gasoline. According to Code section 452A.2, this means motor
7 25 fuel containing at least 10 percent alcohol distilled from
7 26 cereal grains.
7 27 The bill provides an income tax credit for retail dealers
7 28 of gasoline who sell ethanol blended gasoline. The tax credit
7 29 applies to both taxpayers filing as individuals under Code
7 30 section 422.11C and businesses under Code section 422.33. The
7 31 bill provides for the tax credit for each service station at
7 32 which more than 60 percent of the total gallons of gasoline
7 33 sold by the taxpayer is ethanol blended gasoline. The amount
7 34 of the tax credit is 2 1/2 cents multiplied by the total
7 35 number of gallons of ethanol blended gasoline sold at that
8 1 service station that is in excess of 60 percent of all
8 2 gasoline sold at the service station during the tax year. The
8 3 bill also provides for refund or carryforward of any credit in
8 4 excess of the taxpayer's liability.
8 5 The bill also amends provisions in Code section 452A.3 that
8 6 provide for an excise tax on each gallon of motor fuel sold in
8 7 the state. The general rate is 20 cents per gallon. The
8 8 section provides a number of exceptions. One exception
8 9 provides that until June 30, 2007, the rate is 19 cents per
8 10 gallon of ethanol blended gasoline. The bill provides that
8 11 until that date the general rate and the special rate for
8 12 ethanol blended gasoline is determined each year beginning on
8 13 July 1 and ending on June 30 by the department of revenue and
8 14 finance, based on the number of gallons of ethanol blended
8 15 gasoline distributed in this state. The general rate is
8 16 between 20 cents and 20.8 cents and the special rate for
8 17 ethanol blended gasoline is between 19 and 20 cents.
8 18 The bill contains special applicability provisions. It
8 19 provides that the tax credit applies to tax years beginning on
8 20 and after January 1, 2002. It also provides that the excise
8 21 tax provisions apply on and after July 1, 2002.
