Gasoline is not considered a progressive tax; it is generally viewed as a regressive tax. This means that it takes a larger percentage of income from low-income individuals than from high-income individuals, as everyone pays the same rate per gallon regardless of their income level. Consequently, lower-income individuals spend a higher proportion of their earnings on gasoline compared to wealthier individuals.
The percent of tax on gasoline varies widely depending on the country, state, or region. In the United States, federal gasoline taxes are typically around 18.4 cents per gallon, but state taxes can range from a few cents to over 60 cents per gallon, leading to an overall tax rate that can be around 10-30% of the pump price. In other countries, such as those in Europe, gasoline taxes can be significantly higher, sometimes exceeding 60% of the total price. Always check local regulations for the most accurate and current rates.
