Gasoline Price Could Rise If Depletion Tax Is Repealed
Tax expert Robert M. Drennan told Sanford Rotary that repealing the percentage depletion provision could raise gasoline prices by as much as five cents a gallon, costing Maine drivers about 6.5 million dollars annually. He argued the deduction, though broad and used to spur oil exploration, benefits energy users indirectly and helps keep energy affordable. He warned that reducing depletion would curb drilling and oil discoveries, ultimately hurting consumers most.
