This bill proposes the elimination of deductions related to the remittance of motor fuel tax, tobacco taxes, and tire fees in the state of Alaska. Specifically, it amends existing laws to remove provisions that allowed dealers and licensees to retain a percentage of the total monthly surcharge and tax due to cover accounting and filing expenses. The bill also repeals certain sections that previously provided discounts on cigarette stamps based on the volume purchased, thereby requiring that stamps be sold at their full denominated value.

Additionally, the bill modifies the language regarding the sale of cigarette stamps, stating that each stamp shall be sold at its full value without any discounts. It also outlines the procedures for refunds or credits to licensees for unused or damaged stamps, ensuring that the process remains intact despite the removal of the discount provisions. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
