Senate Bill (SB) 1 (Stats. 2017, Ch. 5), increases the tax rates on motor vehicle fuel (MVF), including gasoline, and diesel fuel, effective November 1, 2017.

Anyone who owns more than 1,000 gallons of fuel for sale at 12:01 a.m. on November 1, 2017 must pay the difference in the tax rate. The Department of Tax and Fee Administration will be sending a special notice in the next two weeks with more information and the tax return to be filed by January 1, 2018.

If you have not received your return by late October 2017, please contact the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration at 1-800-400-7115 (TTY: 711). Failure to receive a storage tax return does not relieve you of your responsibility to report and pay the storage tax.

CIOMA is submitting comments and working with partners to combat this rule but your voice is needed! The only proposed method to achieve these reductions is to reduce throughput and overall sales. This will hurt your livelihood and will fail to reach the goals laid out by the District.
 
The South Coast Air Quality Management District has continued to push for decisions on proposed rules without making the proper documentation available. While the attached coalition letter focuses on proposed changes to Rule 1180 (emissions monitoring plans), this has been an issue on multiple rules over the past few months. By not releasing scientific documents that show the effects on business and the environment in a timely manner, SCAQMD staff is bypassing the rulemaking process and refusing take stakeholder concerns and expertise into account.

This letter was used to obtain a 30 day delay in the process in order to allow stakeholders to review these technical documents and provide input.
