Levy of tax equal to reduction in federal excise tax
Official statutory text
A. In the event that, by federal law, the federal excise tax
imposed on gasoline or diesel fuel or both is reduced from the rate
imposed on January 1, 1996, there shall be levied a tax equal to the
reduction in the federal excise tax on gasoline or diesel fuel or
both. The tax on gasoline or diesel fuel or both shall be imposed
beginning the first day following the reduction in the rate of the
federal excise tax on gasoline or diesel fuel or both. The tax
imposed by this subsection resulting from a reduction in federal
excise tax on gasoline or diesel fuel or both shall not include any
reduction in federal excise tax imposed on diesel fuel for use in
trains pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C., Section
4041, in that the federal excise tax levy on diesel fuel for use in
trains is not appropriated or apportioned to the Federal Highway
Trust Fund.
B. The tax levied pursuant to subsection A of this section
shall be in addition to and applicable to all gasoline and diesel
fuel subject to the tax imposed and levied pursuant to Section 500.4
of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes. It is the intent of this
section that the tax shall be conclusively presumed to be a direct
tax and shall be a direct tax on the retail or ultimate consumer
precollected for the purpose of convenience and facility to the
consumer. The levy and assessment on other persons as specified in
the Motor Fuel Tax Code shall be as agents of the state for the
precollection of the tax. The provisions of this section shall in
no way affect the method of collecting the tax as provided in the
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 264

collected and paid at those times, in the manner, and by those
persons specified in the Motor Fuel Tax Code.
