Governor Mike Braun today extended his suspension of Indiana’s Gasoline Usage Tax and Gasoline Excise Tax through October 6, delivering another month of nation-leading relief for Hoosiers from high gas prices.
This suspension is part of the energy emergency that took effect August 7. Both gas taxes will again be suspended through October 6 in all 92 counties, resulting in separate suspensions that are consecutive. Governor Braun will reevaluate in 30 days to determine whether another pause is necessary. The energy emergency provides a 120-day window of authority.
In a statement, it's noted that Governor Braun remains committed to using all administrative capacity to make local units of government whole and use current reserves to allow the Indiana Department of Transportation highway fund to continue all fiscal year 2027 projects and maintenance uninterrupted. Governor Braun has reached an agreement with House and Senate fiscal leadership to prioritize the use of funds available from the reserve balance during the 2027 budget session to replace lost revenue from the gas tax holiday. The reserve balance is currently on track to be over $5 billion.
Governor Braun first suspended the Gasoline Usage Tax in April and expanded the relief in May to include the Gasoline Excise Tax. He has continued the suspension to provide Hoosier families additional breathing room at the pump while protecting funding for state and local infrastructure projects.
