That rate is 9% for this quarter.

Pursuant to the provisions of subdivisions (e), (f), (g) and (h) of section 301-a, subdivision (b) of section 301-d, subdivisions (b) and (c) of section 301-e, subdivisions (a) and (c) of section 301-j and subdivision (a) of section 308 of the Tax Law, the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance hereby gives public notice regarding the petroleum business tax (Tax Law, Article 13-A) rate adjustment calculation and the resulting rates effective January 1, 2020 (effective March 1, 2020 for quarterly filers), as follows: The motor fuel and highway diesel motor fuel rate is adjusted from $.106 to $.104; the non-highway diesel motor fuel rate is adjusted from $.097 to $.095; the residual petroleum product rate is adjusted from $.074 to $.073; the kero-jet fuel rate is adjusted from $.071 to $.070; the aviation gasoline rate is adjusted from $.106 to $.104; the rate of the supplemental tax on aviation gasoline is adjusted from $.071 to $.070; and the rate of the supplemental petroleum business tax is adjusted from $.071 to $.070. The separate rate of supplemental petroleum business tax with respect to highway diesel motor fuel is adjusted from $.0535 to $.0525; it is computed by subtracting one and three-quarters cents from the adjusted rate of the supplemental petroleum business tax. The railroad diesel rate is adjusted from $.093 to $.091; it is computed by subtracting one and three-tenths cents from the motor fuel and highway diesel motor fuel rate.

The basic utility credit (or reimbursement) rate with respect to residual petroleum product is adjusted from $.0597 to $.0585 and the basic utility credit (or reimbursement) rate with respect to non-highway diesel motor fuel product is adjusted from $.0600 to $.0588. The basic utility credit (or reimbursement) rates are further adjusted by adding one-half of one cent to the adjusted basic rates of the utility credits (or reimbursements); as a result, the utility credit (or reimbursement) rate with respect to residual petroleum product is adjusted from $.0647 to $.0635, and the utility credit (or reimbursement) rate with respect to non-highway diesel motor fuel product is adjusted from $.0650 to $.0638.

The adjusted petroleum business tax rates are obtained by multiplying the existing rates by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the monthly producer price indices (unadjusted) for refined petroleum products for the twelve consecutive months ending with the month of August 2019, and the denominator of which is the sum of the monthly producer price indices (unadjusted) for refined petroleum products for the twelve consecutive months ending with the month of August 2018. Such monthly producer price indices for the twelve consecutive months ending with the month of August 2019, are 225.7, 233.1, 214.3, 183.8, 167.6, 177.6, 197.1, 211.7, 213.0, 197.5, 206.2, and 194.5, which total 2422.1. Such monthly producer price indices for the twelve consecutive months ending with the month of August 2018, are 188.3, 185.7, 192.7, 191.9, 197.0, 199.7, 197.7, 207.7, 228.3, 229.4, 228.2, and 223.9, which total 2470.5. The producer price index for the category of commodities designated as refined petroleum products is published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. As required by law, the adjusted rates, except the utility credit (or reimbursement) rates and the rate of supplemental petroleum business tax with respect to highway diesel motor fuel, have been rounded to the nearest tenth of one cent. The utility credit (or reimbursement) rates and the rate of supplemental petroleum business tax with respect to highway diesel motor fuel have been rounded to the nearest hundredth of one cent. Section 301-a of the Tax Law does not allow the rates to change by more than 5 percent of the rates in effect on December 31. The computed rate change would be a decrease of 2.0 percent; therefore, none of the above rates were subject to the 5 percent limitation.
