HD 265 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to exempt municipalities from the gas tax

This bill exempts municipalities from paying the gas tax on fuel they purchase for their operations. It amends the tax code to exclude sales of fuel (like gasoline and diesel) from distributors to municipalities from the existing per-gallon tax. The key mechanism is a specific tax exemption for fuel sold directly to municipal entities, meaning local governments will no longer pay this tax on fuel used for municipal purposes. This directly affects all municipalities in the state that buy fuel for vehicles, equipment, or other municipal operations.
