Missouri Motor Fuel Tax
Missouri imposes a motor fuel tax rate of 17¢ per gallon.
In addition, the state collects two fees: an agricultural inspection
fee of 2.5¢ per 50 gallons and a transport load fee of $40
per 8,000 gallons, making the effective motor fuel tax rate: 17.55¢
per gallon. Fiscal year 2005 Missouri motor fuel tax collections
make up 4.3% of the state’s total tax collections and the
burden (percent of personal income paid in taxes) on Missouri taxpayers
ranks 26th of 50 states.
