Today, Governor Mike Braun announced a gas tax holiday to give Hoosiers relief from high gas prices.
Governor Braun's gas tax holiday is a 30-day suspension of the 7% usage tax on fuel, followed by review. The suspension is based on Governor Braun's emergency declaration today, and could be extended if the emergency continues.
“I am declaring a gas tax holiday to give Hoosiers relief from the pain at the pump from high gas prices. Affordability is my top priority.” — Governor Mike Braun
Governor Braun called on gasoline retailers to deliver the gas tax relief directly to consumers, and noted that the state will be “patrolling the pumps” — monitoring prices to ensure that savings are delivered to Hoosiers at the pump.
Governor Braun also called on the Attorney General to enforce protections from price gauging by retailers.
