Minnesota fuel excise tax rates and fees

Legislation enacted during the 2008 Legislative Session increases the tax rates on motor fuels effective April 1, 2008, and again on October 1, 2008.

In addition, the new law imposes a surcharge of ½ cent (.005) on all motor fuels in Minnesota effective August 1, 2008. There will also be a proportional surcharge assessed on alternative fuels. The surcharge will be updated annually effective the first day of July of each following year.
