I suppose they could do away with that and start charging income, property taxes etc...How would the poor people fare then?
California has the one of the highest gas taxes in the US and more roads than anywhere in the USA....In Arizona we have lower gas taxes....and boy do
we have lower quality roads.
Nothing is free, although some people seem to think so. |
The Mexican federal government gets most of its income from the sale of gasoline and electricity. Their income from income tax is very low, partly
because the economy is heavily "cash" based and difficult to tax. The fact that they heavily tax the things that the poorer people must use is not
very just at all. There is no "graduation" of taxes for rich vs poor, they all pay the same for energy. On top of that, the roads here suck!

Alaska? that is because they imposed a tax rate of 35%
on the production of oil.

Under AS 43.55.201, the State collects a 1 cent per barrel conservation surcharge on taxable oil produced if there is less than $50
million in the Hazardous Release Fund. The State also collects an additional 4 cents per barrel conservation surcharge under AS 43.55.300.

To make a meaningful analysis of this type you need to look at all the taxes collected, income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, fees etc. You would
also need to look at the costs involved for each state and how big their budget surpluses/deficits are. You are really over simplifying things.

Those are in addition to the 35%. Read and quote the whole thing....not just selectively.
"The State of Alaska imposes a production tax, under AS 43.55, on oil and gas produced in the state. The current tax rate of 35% was set in 2013 by
Senate Bill 21 (commonly known as the More Alaska Production Act or “MAPA”). The tax is based on the net value of oil and gas, which is the value at
the point of production, less all qualified lease expenditures. Qualified lease expenditures include certain qualified capital and operating
expenditures. "

35 % is on the "tax is based on the net value of oil and gas, which is the value at the point of production, less all qualified lease expenditures.
Qualified lease expenditures include certain qualified capital and operating expenditures. " so it is far from a true 35%/
