State House Eyes Move to End Trucking Gross Receipts Tax
The highways and bridges committee will consider a proposal during the upcoming special session to eliminate Arizona's two and a half percent gross receipts tax on trucking. If passed, funds for highways would shift and a gasoline tax hike of one and a half cents per gallon is proposed as a substitute. The plan, from the Arizona Motor Transportation Association, would affect state and highway financing and includes other tax and policy recommendations.
