Using the most recent retail price of gasoline available (as required by IC 6-2.5-7-14(b)), the department has determined the statewide average retail price per gallon of gasoline to be three dollars sixteen and five-tenths cents ($3.165) for the month of February 2013. The data is derived from:
www.IndianaGasPrices.com
Based on the provisions of Step 1 and Step 2, the calculations are as follows:
| | |
Step 1 | | |
Statewide average retail price per gallon: | 3.165 | |
Multiplied by the state retail tax: | ×.07 | |
| 0.22155 | |
Multiplied by 80%: | × 0.8 | |
| 0.17724 | |
| | |
Rounded to the nearest one-tenth of one cent: | 0.177 | |
| | |
Step 2 | | |
Previous 6-month prepayment rate: | 0.183 | |
Multiplied by 125%: | × 1.25 | |
| 0.22875 | |
| | |
Rounded to the nearest $0.001: | 0.229 | |
Based on the previous calculations, Step 1 will be used to determine the prepayment rate. The prepayment rate of sales tax on gasoline for the 6-month period beginning July 1, 2013, is seventeen and seven-tenths cents ($0.177) per gallon.
