What is WY HB 145 about?
This act amends the collection and process for alternative fuel taxes (taxes that are imposed on fuels other than gasoline and diesel that are used to power a vehicle, including electricity), including replacing all monthly deadlines for returns, reports, payments, and refunds with deadlines as determined by the Wyoming Department of Transportation. This act imposes a license tax of three and one-half cents ($.035) per kilowatt hour on all electric energy sold or dispensed for sale or use in this state for charging a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (a vehicle that uses both electricity and gasoline or diesel for power) or an all-electric vehicle (a vehicle that only uses electricity for power) at a direct current fast charging station. This act requires every person who sells or offers to sell to the retail trade electricity at a direct current fast charging station for use in motor vehicles to conspicuously display the price per kilowatt hour, including all applicable taxes. This act exempts sales of alternative fuels from sales taxation, including sales of electricity at direct current fast charging stations. This act amends the annual decal fee for all-electric vehicles from two hundred dollars ($200.00) to one hundred dollars ($100.00) and imposes an annual decal fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) for plug-in hybrid vehicles.
