New Mexico fuel taxes

Fixed duties and percentage taxes work differently. These records preserve effective dates and unresolved checks.

Amounts are in local currency per litre. Percentage entries are recomputed from each observed price. Snapshot dates are identified in the notes.

Common questions

Does a percentage tax stay fixed in cents per litre?

No. VAT, GST and sales taxes vary with their taxable base. For a tax-inclusive price and one rate r, the tax amount is price × r / (1 + r).

Why are some tax records marked unverified?

A published summary can omit a local levy, a tax-base rule or an effective date. Unverified records are not treated as a complete statutory tax stack.
