Missouri Gas Tax Increase Effective October 1, 2021

Missourians will see their first fuel tax increase since 1996 beginning October 1, 2021.  There will be a price increase of 2.5 cents per gallon.  This is part of the gas tax bill lawmakers passed and Governor Mike Parson approved on July 13, 2021.

Each year prices will rise until the tax reaches a total of 12.5 cents in 2025.

There is a positive side.  Missourians can get an exemption and refund for the fuel tax tax, but you have to keep accurate records of each and every time you fill up!

The following is what the Missouri Department of Revenue will require:

Drivers to provide the vehicle’s “vin” number

Date of sale

Names and addresses of the purchasers and the seller

The number of gallons purchased and charged the Missouri tax

The Department of Transportation estimates the fuel tax increase, when fully implemented, will generate another $460 million annually for the state’s roads and bridges.
