Two proposals would raise car registration and fuel taxes
Both measures would take effect in 1982 if approved by the state Legislature. Carey would shift to a flat $8 plus 1 percent of taxable value for cars, boosting first year costs for a $5,000 car to about $58 and a $10,000 car to about $108. The value-based tax would climb with depreciation, and the value portion would be tax deductible. Gasoline would switch to an 8 percent of gallon cost and diesel to 10 percent, increasing per-gallon prices and state revenue as prices rise.
