    Departmental Notice #2
    December 2013


    SUBJECT: Prepayment of Sales Tax on Gasoline


    DISCLAIMER: This document is not a "statement" required to be published in the Indiana Register under IC 4-22-7-7. However, under IC 6-2.5-7-14, the Department is required to publish the prepayment rate in the June and December issues of the Indiana Register. The purpose of this notice is to inform each refiner, terminal operator, and qualified distributor known to the Department to be required to collect prepayments of sales tax on gasoline of the "prepayment rate" effective for the next six-month period. A prepayment rate is calculated twice a year by the Department and is effective for the period January 1 through June 30, or, July 1 through December 31, as appropriate.

    Statutory Calculation of Prepayment Rate

    The prepayment rate is defined by IC 6-2.5-7-1 and IC 6-2.5-7-14 as the product of:
    Step 1
    1) The statewide average retail price per gallon of gasoline (excluding the Indiana gasoline tax, the federal gasoline tax, and the Indiana gross retail tax); multiplied by
    2) The state gross retail tax rate (7%); multiplied by
    3) Eighty percent (80%); rounded to
    4) The nearest one-tenth of one cent ($0.001)
    Step 2
    1) Determine the lesser of the results in Step 1 or
    2) The product of:
    (i) The prepayment rate in effect on the day immediately preceding the day on which the prepayment rate is redetermined; multiplied by
    (ii) One hundred twenty-five percent (125%); rounded to
    3) The nearest one-tenth of one cent ($0.001)
    Using the most recent retail price of gasoline available (as required by IC 6-2.5-7-14(b)), the department has determined the statewide average retail price per gallon of gasoline to be two dollars ninety-nine and four-tenths cents ($2.994) for the month of August 2013. The data is derived from www.IndianaGasPrices.com.
    Based on the provisions of Step 1 and Step 2, the calculations are as follows:
    Step 1     
    Statewide average retail price per gallon:  2.994   
    Multiplied by the state retail tax:  x .07   
      0.20958   
    Multiplied by 80%:  x 0.8   
      0.16766   
         
    Rounded to the nearest one-tenth of one cent:  0.168   
         
    Step 2     
    Previous 6-month prepayment rate:  0.177   
    Multiplied by 125%:  x 1.25   
      0.22125   
         
    Rounded to the nearest $0.001:  0.221   

    Prepayment Rate
    Based on the previous calculations, Step 1 will be used to determine the prepayment rate. The prepayment rate of sales tax on gasoline for the 6-month period beginning January 1, 2014, is sixteen and eight-tenths cents ($0.168) per gallon.
