Is the gas tax really that low? I thought I’d heard (read?) somewhere that most of the cost of a gallon of gas was from taxes, and that the retailer only made a small profit.
thanks

I don’t see several Pittsburgh area taxes on the list.
How about Parking tax- 35% in the city? Head tax- per capita tax levied by some of the suburban boros around here? Or Land Tax- land is taxed at a much higher rate than buildings in Pittsburgh. I believe we’re also in the last year of the merchantile tax on gross reciepts- levied by the city here.
Thank you!
Slaughter tax. Probably in every state, but I found out about it this year, because our greedy governor Doyle(D-Wisconsin) is raising the slaughter tax in his over the top spendulus budget that is being passed this weekend under the cover of the holiday weekend.
There is a per animal slaughter tax, for commercial producers of chickens, hogs, beef cattle etc.
Link would be the governor’s budget. This was discussed weeks ago on local talk radio, along with way more egregious tax hikes and new taxes and fees.
New also is the Regional Transit Taxing Authority. They’re gonna tax us so they can build trains no one will use. That will be an increase in our sales tax. It’ll be either regional or state wide depending on how brave the dems are in stealing even more of our money.
Link is also the governor’s budget. He is making up new law in this budget. He doesn’t care to let the people have a say. Almost 9000 tax protesters showed up at the Capitol April 15th. The politicians were too busy entertaining lobbyists inside the Capitol building to notice the people outside.
Tennessee and other states have what they call a “Professional Privilege Tax”. It is a tax levied on licensed professionals such as doctors, lawyers, professional engineers, pharmacists, etc.

Ah, the ma-in-law tax. Where do I mail her?
In RI there is a luxury tax for tampons. Of course condoms are non-taxable.
