SB 1875 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Taxes - As enacted, requires a person using a liquified gas propelled motor vehicle to pay the liquified gas tax on delivery of the liquified gas into the vehicle's fuel supply tank instead of prepaying the tax on an annual basis; eliminates the annual renewal requirement for the liquified gas user permit, instead making it a permanent and valid permit dependent on timely reports and remittance of taxes or until surrendered or canceled; makes other tax-related changes. - Amends TCA Title 67, Chapter 1, Part 18; Title 67, Chapter 3, Part 11 and Title 67, Chapter 6.

SB 1875 changes how liquefied gas tax is collected for vehicles using it, requiring users to pay the tax at the time of refueling instead of annually. It eliminates annual permit renewals, making user permits permanent as long as taxes are reported and paid on time. The bill also updates tax rules to include hydrogen gas as a fuel type for tax purposes and clarifies dealer permit requirements. These changes directly affect vehicle users and dealers who supply liquefied gas or hydrogen fuel.
