๐ Californiaโs Proposed Mileage Tax: A Growing Concern
Tired of the Smoke and Mirrors of CA? Nevada, just maybe your answer! Call or DM to discuss.
Are Californians about to be taxed per-mile they drive?
Legislation being advanced in the California Assembly could lay the groundwork for a mileage-based tax โ meaning drivers would eventually pay for every mile they travel, on top of already high gas taxes and registration fees. Critics warn this could hit working families, commuters, and rural residents hardest, especially those who have no choice but to drive long distances for work or essential errands.
If signed into law, at those hypothetical rates,
This could add approx.:
Annual Miles Driven At $0.02/mile At $0.03/mile
At $0.04/mile
10,000 miles $200/year $300/year $400/year
12,000 miles $240/year $360/year $480/year
15,000 miles $300/year $450/year $600/year
This is for each vehicle in your household. Do the math!
These are estimated cost ranges based on possible rates under discussion, not final laws.
๐ What drivers fear
โข More money out of your pocket each year โ even if gas prices drop.
โข Driving is being tracked or monitored to calculate charges.
โข Potential double taxation if gas taxes arenโt reduced.
