Sec. 492.1. Determining the composite rate and aggregate rate of tax

Tax Law, §§ 301-h, 523(b)

(a)

(1) Composite rate. The fuel use tax is based upon the amount of motor fuel and diesel motor fuel used by a carrier in such carrier's operations within this State. Pursuant to section 523(b) of the Tax Law, the fuel use tax is determined by multiplying the number of gallons of motor fuel or diesel motor fuel, as the case may be, used by a carrier in such carrier's operations within this State by a composite rate which is determined by adding together:

(i) a fuel tax component determined in accordance with the provisions of section 523(b) of the Tax Law; and

(ii) a sales tax component determined in accordance with such section 523(b).

(2) Aggregate rate. Similar to the fuel use tax, the article 13-A carrier tax is measured by the amount of motor fuel and diesel motor fuel imported into this State in the fuel tanks of qualified motor vehicles and consumed in this State in the operation of such qualified motor vehicles. In accordance with the joint administration provisions of section 301-h of the Tax Law, the joint fuel use and article 13-A carrier tax is computed separately for each fuel based on an aggregate rate which is determined by adding together:

(i) the applicable composite rate as determined by paragraph (1) of this subdivision; and

(ii) the article 13-A component determined in accordance with section 301-h(a)(2) of the Tax Law.

(b)

(1) For calendar quarters beginning on or after January 1, 1996, the rates per gallon of the sales tax components, under the prevailing price, the composite rates of the fuel tax and sales tax components, under the prevailing price, and the aggregate rates of the article 13-A, fuel tax and sales tax components, under the prevailing price, for motor fuel and diesel motor fuel for the following periods are, in cents per gallon:
