The Two Primary Causes of California’s July 1st Gas Tax Increase
‘Any increase in the gas tax is a surefire way to put the California economy on the road to ruin’
By Katy Grimes, June 25, 2025 8:59 am
California gasoline already costs approximately $1.50 above the national average, and we are getting another gas tax hike next week.
The gas tax increase coming July 1st that CalTax explained in our previous article is the gasoline excise tax, as opposed to the low-carbon fuel standard tax changes. The amounts are very similar, which has caused confusion.
An excise tax is a specific type of tax levied on certain goods or services at the time of their purchase including gas, tobacco, and airline tickets, imposed by local, state, and federal government.
The California Air Resources Board voted in November to approve new gas regulations (taxes) which will result in as much as a 65 cent per gallon increase in California’s gas prices. The vote made significant updates to the low carbon fuel standard (LCFS), which requires the state to reduce the environmental impact of gas and other transportation fuels by incentivizing producers to cut emissions.
The excise tax — the per-gallon tax that was increased substantially by the Legislature several years ago, with a provision that requires the CDTFA, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration to adjust the rate annually for inflation — is increasing from the current 59.6 cents per gallon to 61.2 cents per gallon, starting July 1. The CDTFA, which is part of the governor’s administration, is required to increase the gas and diesel excise tax rates every year, effective July 1.
The excise tax rate on diesel fuel will increase from 45.4 cents per gallon to 46.6 cents per gallon, likely leading to higher costs for consumers for many goods and services.
Adding to the confusion is the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, which was created by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2017 to take over many of the duties of the Board of Equalization. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, CDTFA, is now responsible for administering many of the taxes formerly handled by the BOE, including sales and use, fuel and cigarette taxes. The CDTFA will also handle the auditing of taxpayers with regard to these taxes.
Notably, when the State Board of Equalization was responsible for the annual inflation adjustment for the gas tax rate, it was handled very transparently – the tax issue was placed on the agenda in advance and it was voted on during a public meeting. As elected officials, they were accountable to their constituents.
The Department of Finance used to recommend the tax increase amount, but the BOE had to approve it – publicly.
Now, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration tries to avoid mentioning the gas tax increase – a real lack of transparency. Their website is a nightmare with no easy or clear link for the gas tax increase.
But the CDTFA social media does list all of the ways you can be taxed. And they are celebrating Pride Month:
Although the agency has “public information officers” who post a lot of stuff on X/Twitter and other social media pages, it is evident that they avoid posting anything about the gas tax increase, even though this is the one tax Californians historically are focused on like a laser beam.
One of the CDTFA X posts warns that you may need a temporary seller’s permit for a garage sale? Are you kidding?
The media also is interested in this tax in order to notify Californians. But nowhere can I locate a press release on the CDTFA website to inform the media.
“Making life better for Californians by fairly and efficiently collecting the revenue that supports our essential public services,” is the CDTFA motto.
Instead, the agency posts a “special notice” for retailers listing the old and new rates and making every attempt to downplay the tax hike. We assume they have a legal obligation to issue this notice.
But small home businesses can link to information about sales tax information.
It was only through the CDTFA Instagram page was I able to link to fuel taxes:
CDTFA’s X page has posted everything BUT the gas tax increase since June 4, as we posted above.
Low Carbon Fuel Standard
In 2024, the Globe reported that the California Air Resources Board mandated an additional 50 cents per gallon be added to the price of gas in California. It is important to note that all tax increases are legally required to be voted on by the California Legislature, the elected representatives of the people. But the CARB – a state agency made up of political appointees – has been bypassing the Legislature for years and passing their own “clean air” and “climate change” taxes – obviously with the implicit approval of the Legislature, which clearly abdicated its agency oversight.
Senate Republican Leader Brian Jones is the author of Senate Bill 2, which would have repealed the Low Carbon Fuel Standard gas tax increase of 65 cents a gallon, and end the new LCFS Low-Carbon Fuel regulations that were adopted last year.
Stunningly, CARB Chair Liane Randolph admitted that the Board does not consider how its regulations affect prices at the pump, essentially confirming that there was little consideration for the economic consequences when LCFS regulations were adopted, the Globe reported.
“That admission is stunning,” said Senate Leader Jones. “CARB is making billion-dollar decisions that hit every family at the pump, and they’re doing it without even asking what it will cost. That level of arrogance and detachment from reality is exactly why we need SB 2.”
But Senate Bill 2 was killed in the Senate in June following a forced floor vote.
It is evident that Democrats want Californians to pay the highest gas prices in the country, while they get their gas paid for by taxpayers.
California’s State Assembly members and Senators get state-issued-cars and gas cards. So while they have been passing devastating laws resulting in the highest gas taxes and price-per-gallon in the country, their cars and gas are paid for by the people.
California’s total gas tax includes excise taxes and sales and use taxes:
California’s total gas tax was approximately $1.43 per gallon in 2024 – on top of increasing gas prices, and will be nearly $2.00 per gallon by 2026.
The 2023 CARB Low Carbon Fuel Standard amendments document unabashedly outlines in black-and-white, the new gas tax increases through 2042 (page 57):
A brief history of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), according to the Senate Environmental Quality Committee:
The LCFS was born out of Assembly Bill 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 by Assemblyman Fabian Nunez (D-Los Angeles).
AB 32 did not explicitly contemplate an LCFS, the bill represents the only statutory authority or direction that has been provided for the program. AB 32 was signed by Governor Schwarzenegger on September 27, 2006, and in June of 2007, CARB adopted the first three (of a total of nine) discrete early action measures pursuant to AB 32, including the LCFS. Since its adoption in 2009, the LCFS has been amended (2011), readopted (2015), amended again (2018), and is currently in the process of being amended once more (2024- 2025) all through actions initiated and taken solely by CARB.
The original LCFS set a goal of reducing the CI of fuels in the state to 10% below 2010 levels by 2020. Since the original LCFS was adopted, CARB set a new goal to reduce the CI of fuels in the state to 20% below 2010 levels by 2030. CARB is currently in the process of setting an even more ambitious target because of the extent to which the program is exceeding expectations for overall reduction of fuel CI.
CARB keeps moving the goal posts so they can keep increasing the LCFS tax. Specifically, in November 2024, CARB “increased the stringency of the program to more aggressively decarbonize fuels and thereby reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.”
This is what Senator Jones tried to repeal with SB 2.
So, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration excise tax will go into effect July 1st, as will the CARB Low Carbon Fuel Standard tax.
“Any increase in the gas tax is a surefire way to put the California economy on the road to ruin,” Clint Olivier, CEO, Central Valley Business Federation, told the Globe.
“Business owners who move goods to market won’t simply eat the increased cost, they’ll pass it along to the consumer. Sacramento is playing with fire.”

My head is spinning.
The jerks responsible for this stuff WANT your (and my) head to be spinning.
They are full-on on a path to DESTROY this state. Purposefully.
There HAVE TO BE consequences for this thus far unaccountable and illegal nonsense.
Waiting and looking for the consequences to kick in soon.
How about a lawsuit challenging CARB’s ability to pass a gas tax? Surely a friendly jurisdiction can be found.
Whatever works, and maybe that’s the ticket, I don’t know. Are the Feds able to address this? Is this even Constitutional? How could it be?
👍I am old enough to remember the burning eyes, throat, and lungs that existed in Southern California in my childhood. It was horrible. In addition, the air especially on hot days of summer, looked like fog. It wasn’t fog, but smog. Today, although I recognize the price increase is a hardship, I am in love with our clean air and beautiful blue skies as a result of the leadership actions taken to achieve the cleanest gasoline in the country. I cannot imagine what my life would be like if I could not see the mountains, oceans, or houses across the street without burning eyes, throats, and lungs. Thank you Gov Newsome for staying the course when there are so many naysayers.
that is why there are catalytic converters on cars now. We don’t want or need taxation without representation. We the people should be beholden to a state agency with anyway to rein them in on climate BS. Signed fed up taxed too death Cali citizen.
Something that was true in the past especially a regulation does not merit the same perpetual emergency now. It’s like an anorexic girl crying because her wrists are “fat”. We have amazing air already, there is no need to add $1.81 “tax” into the $1.41 sales and ex size taxes because they believe gas is evil.
don’t be a blockhead.
the air is not amazing. It is certainly better than it was. Still a lot of work to do even on that front.
Meanwhile climate change is a crisis and California must so its part in the transition to lower emissions.
Tell that to China and India, the worst polluters in the world. The US has done the most and is doing the best. We don’t need more government taxing us behind the curtains.
Very well said –
You will be pleased to learn that if the Guber were to be recalled and there was no longer this tax, you would have more money to spend, and the air quality would remain unaffected.
Gavin does not control the atmospheric clarity anymore than Obama controls ocean level.
you should imagine how to properly use your brain, and im just gonna go out on a limb here and guess that, much like most women who are out of touch with reality and say stupid things about issues that involve money, you infact dont pay for your own gas or anything for that matter, but your husband does and probably feels the same as most rational people in So Cal……..the state government is slowly killing this state and dont even realize it because they get everything for free….including the tax money they take from people rhat they do nothing to earn and spend way to much on things no one agrees with or wants, then run out of it, and their solution is more taxes….because they dont understand how ridiculous it is, as they dont have to pay anywhere near the percentage of us regulae folk….and if you think for a second they do, then younl are part of the problem…..they make the rules to benefit themselves not the people they are supposed to represent……Governer Nuissance is a problem…..one day it will backfire and it will be too late to fix it…..and i will be nowhere near here when it does.
the results of cleaner combustion engines is what your seeing, not citizens being taxed into poverty, Newsome hasn’t done a single thing to make our lives better, quite the opposite.
you are what is completely WRONG WITH THIS STATE! IF THIS INCREASE GOES THRU, IM NOT PUTTING UP WITH IT. CARB WILL BE NO MORE, AND NEWSOM AND FABIAN WILL BE CARTEL FODDER. IM ALREADY SICK OF TREASONOUS TRAITORS; THEY GET RICH WHILE WE BARELY SCRAPE BY. LOWLIFE POS’S LIKE SUSAN NEED THEIR NECKS BROKEN.
How much were you paid to write that?
130 dollars to fill a 20 galloon tank. Greed.
And what do you call the clearly illegal actios of the state? You don’t mind that these agencies are acting outside of their stated functions by flauting the law with the implicit blessing of the one party legislature?
Exactly
We MUST vote them out of office & put them in a place where they will have to pay for gas out of their own pockets & not out of ours! Part of the problem that I see is that those living in big cities vote them in & typically use public transportation, Uber & such… it’s unlikely they even own a car!
DEMOCRAT CAUSED
Totally!
That’s why we call Newsom, “Gruesome Newsom” or POS.
dyslexic pos
Started by Ronald Reagan. Worst President ever.
now we have another American Hater that only supports the 1% only. America last!!!
Regan was awesome for the middle class! Trump might be a bully, but at least he believes in America. This article is actually about how Democrats raise your gas taxes without a vote. This is actually anti-American. Gary, try to stay focused, please.
Reagan SUCKED. IRAN CONTRA RING A BELL YOU DOUCHEBAG? CARB SUCKS NEWSOM SUCKS FABIAN SUCKS ALL DEMOCRATS SUCK AND APPARENTLY YOU SUCK TOO.
Regan was one of the best presidents we ever had.
Please, whatever you do, stay in California. The rest of America will. thank you.
He’s done more for America in the last 5 months than the left has done in the last 60 years. Wake up, Gary. I’ll pray for you to.
Get help for near fatal TDS. Let me guess, you’ve never held a steady job and have been living off the taxpayers most of your life.
You voted for him. We tried to get him out
AB32 CA Global Warming Solutions Act was passed in Sacramento in 2006. It affected 70 different different segments of CA economy. The CA voters had the opportunity to limit it under a ballot initiative in 2010. Unfortunately, the public voted over 70% to keep the Act. Yes, you can blame Sacramento Democrats for introducing it, but it was the public that overwhelmingly voted to keep it.
says something about the public doesn’t it …
I’m all for the gas tax increase. I think this reckless middle finger to California residents will add to the certainty of the democratic party being crushed in the mid terms and Gavin loathsome being forgotten in 2028.
^^^
1.6 cents per gallon increase, according to formula, necessary and as planned. You’re going to be ok.
youre NOT. WATCH YOUR BACK. A HOLE. YOUVE RUINED MY STATE. TIME TO PAY
And what do you call the clearly illegal actios of the state? You don’t mind that these agencies are acting outside of their stated functions by flauting the law with the implicit blessing of the one party legislature?
This is a wrong to put your gas hike on working people who barely make it. This will create higher unemployment. Citizens cannot pay your gas increase. Stop and think about it governor! You are wrong increase the fuel price!
just another Democrap money grab. thanks to That scumbag Newsome, No one will be able to drive to work. Newsome is a traitor, he needs to be in jail
how about a decrease in gas prices, ever think of doing that? always have to have it your damn way, never ours. Oh sure…just keep increasing the price and watch your sales plumment, you idiots. gosh, it’s no wonder the government is hated so much
Every member of CARB should be jailed for at least 10 years; no other unaccountable group has stolen more money from the residents of this state than they have. And the Democraps who appointed them should also be jailed. When are Californians going to fight back and STOP voting these blue thieves into office over and over again?
youre right about that! i AM LIVID AND THIS AINT GONNA FLY! NEWSCUM HAS BROUGHT US TO THE BREAK POINT, ITS TIME TO LIGHT HIM AND HIS LIBERAL LEFTOPATHS UP. QUITE LITERALLY. ALL YOU STUPID DUMBOCRATS, YOURE ABOUT TO BECOME EXTINCT.
It’s 1.5 cents. Big deal
Add another $0.36 to that 1.5 cents. Two different taxes going up. So glad I escaped from my native home state 4 years ago. The once Golden State is now micro thin gold plated piece of dog shit. And Dems keep lapping it up. Idiots.
no. it’s not. that’s an estimate for some other regulations. Has nothing to do with what is happening now.
So when do you draw the line? at the next 1.5 or the next 1.5. Did you get raise to cover it? a lot of us are at our limit of money going out. And every fraction of cent increase on anything hurts.
it’s not the 1.5¢ fool it’s the 65¢ on top of the 50¢ from last year and that adds up to a $1.15 that’s a big deal especially for the poor not including the cost of goods going up because the cost of shipping those goods rise due to the increase of fuel ⛽ used to ship said goods fool. you must be a liberal politician and a fool. do us a favor and jump off a 200 foot cliff
Newscum and the Democrap party are dealing with there own self imposed budget deficit. Newscum failed to fund Prop 36, even though it was approved by over 75% of the voting public. The state now has a $12 Billion budget gap. But, Newscum has funding in the budget for the high speed rail to nowhere. He and our legislative body are now trying to narrow the budget gap. The state is taking in more money than they ever have. The state short fall is the result of a spending problem by state politicians. They have no regard for the working class. The state is losing population and businesses at an alarming rate. Rather than address that issue, it’s easier for the C minus students running our state to simply pass on more taxes. When are these politicians going to do their jobs and serve the people of this state instead of taxing them to the point of renting a UHaul to leave the state. Keep voting the Democratic mental midgets into power and nothing will change…. Please open your eyes as to what is happening in this state.
This legislature has gotten so oblivious to the needs of everyday California’s, its absurd. Because of their financial mismanagement of the State and uts ballooning debt, they just continue to raise taxes. The Democrats favorite ploy is the tax increase.
I have been in California for about 18 months formerly from N.J. everything from housing to bread and beer is ridiculously expensive. Honestly there is no American dream here unless u pocket a million per year. You can keep your weather in southern California, I’m heading back east where I can at least afford a winter coat!
@Ant, I don’t blame you.
moved out of California in 2014, I’m a disabled veteran and could no longer live, but I found that most other States actually take care of there veterans with pride, people ask me where I moved to and I say back to America, paying $2.56 a gallon bought my large home for under $150k and I’m finally enjoying what life I have left !!!!
you’re blaming california because capitalism didn’t work out for you.
I wish you could have afforded to stay. But housing is a function of the market and NIMBYism primarily. The governor is pushing as hard as he can to force more housing onto the market.
See ya! There are way too many East Coast types out here. Go back to your obnoxious life in an obnoxious state.
are EV users ever going to get taxed? wtf…
CA DMV currently adds $110 fee to registration for EVs to cover the gas tax not being collected.
Is that EV tax per charge or per year?
Per year. how else are they supposed to do it? they’re trying to be fair.
relax though Republicans at the national level are working on ways to disproportionately hammer EV drivers to hassle liberals while trying to hold back the future.
the future always wins.
oh shut the f up. you need your fool TYPING FINGERS BROKEN OFF. I HATE EVERY ONE OF YOU IDIOTS. YOUR ELIMINATION IS FORTHCOMING. AND VERY MUCH NECESSARY. YOUD BETTER RUN YOU TRAITOROUS PIECE OF SEWAGE
our electricity bills are higher thanks to them:(
All I can say is remember these POS‘s, election time. Newson thinks he has a chance of running for president. Look what he’s done to California who the hell would have them in there. All they do is raise taxes to the point the average California can’t afford to pay their bills. California is so effed up and you can’t really call him. Do nothing Democrats because they’re quite effective raising the taxes. I guess as usual people bitch a little bit get used to it and wait for the next increase. Nothing will be done in these pieces will get reelected.
Democrats to California Middle Class, “F all of you. We’ll do whatever we want. We have a supermajority, and have the voting system all going our way with voter ID banned, ballot harvesting and delayed vote counting. If you don’t like it, then leave. We’ll replace you with undocumented immigrants to keep our Congressional count up. We have more coming here every day with our free healthcare.”
All Democrats know how to do is to tax people, destroy everything, make everyone else’s lives as miserable as their own.
Leave it to a made up California bureaucratic agency to spend more time celebrity people’s sexual kinks rather than provide information of public interstate. So pathetic, yet so “Modern” California.
Honestly, I really do not believe that “voting” even has an effect on anything at all…. I believe that all the “voting” on laws, representatives, govt officials & everything else typed on a ballot is nothing more than their way of making us americans THINK that we actually have some sort of control over everything!!! You all know damn well that these decisions are pre-determined to fit their agendas!!! Probably have better odds of getting recognized for raising your hand on the 70’s tv show Romper Room than having our opinions make a difference to these corrupt bastards!!
California is giant shithole. moved back to east coast 3 yrs ago. saved $60,000/yr moving to FL.
A woman was killed today in Florida by an 11.5′ alligator. She was canoeing with another person.
I’m staying.
Enjoy your giant bugs, worst heat/humidity factor in the country, no hills, no forests that aren’t rrally just a swamp and the most bars with a “4 tooth minimum” for entry.
Seriously, I don’t how people live in a wet, sticky, smelly hell.
Not only did Governor “NewScum” want to raise the gas tax…All of his Democrat Cronies voted unanimously for it…then on top of that BS, he has forced two oil refineries to close this year in California due to stringent environmental regulations, rising operational costs, and a transition towards cleaner energy which will drive fuel up even more once they leave!! It’s the left using “climate change” as a control mechanism on Californians. It’s all a part of the World Economics Forum’s Agenda 2030. Their slogan for Agenda 2030 is “You will own nothing and be happy”. You can look it up yourself!!
Merely the comrades hastening our final and last gasp.
California is going to do all three levies: Road taxes added on EV’s, hybrids, and plug in hybrids; plus hiking direct gas taxes to .65 cents a gallon = $7.80 per12 gallon tank, (and continue to siphon off road tax money to other uses.)
Federal tax is $.18 cents a gallon so its is $7.80 + $3.60 =$11.40 tax per 12 gallon tank.
Yes. EV’s due to weight beat up the roads more than a ICE Toyota Corolla, and they (and I) gotta pay.
Outrage porn at its finest. Posting a pic from 2022 to imply that’s what gas prices are now, when they are in fact, quite a bit lower. And criticizing the CDTFA’s social media as if social media is a limited resource. How dare they post a pride flag when gas is GOING UP. THE SKY IS FALLING.
It’s 2 cents. If that’s a big deal for you, maybe take a tip from CDTFA’s social media and host an “illegal” yard sale.
okay CHAD. MAYBE ITS TIME FOR OFF WITH YOUR HEADS THEN. YOURE A WASTE OF MY OXYGEN. I GOT YOUR NUMBER, CHAD. YOUD BETTER RUN.
and they can’t seem to realize that making people pay more for what they need just to make it through the day is what’s causing homelessness, crime, hunger, unemployment. I want to see some of these people in office, dropped on the side of the road with 1 small suitcase for clothes, and told ok. find a place to sleep and some food. then a job. oh and you only have a 20 dollar bill. you have no family and no degree. so without begging for help where do you think you will end up in and how will you look in 2-3 week? it wont be a very pretty picture if you live in cali. this is how our govenor want us to live cuz it make him look pretty!!!!
they don’t care any more about the people it’s about what they can steal from us before this country is gone.. we have a 32 felon as president. but if the people get 3 felonies we get life in jail it’s already beginning we as people need to take back are once great country make ‘”America great again ” it always has been ” greater for who the one percent ?????? all this with are own money they probably laugh at us in their high ranking meetings
As Katy Grimes pointed out, it’s stunning that CARB Chair Liane Randolph sounded like an entitled Marie Antoinette and admitted that the Board does not consider how its regulations affect prices at the pump for California drivers.
Maybe California Globe should name and shame all the CARB Board members and include their mug shots? It’s time that these unelected entitled Democrat bureaucrats who sit on the nebulous CARB Board be held accountable to beleaguered California drivers who pay the highest gas taxes in the country? All of them are connected with the Democrat party in some manner and some have been on the CARB Board for years. They’re all radical leftists and/or “social justice warriors.”

Thanks for posting this TJ. Looking at the names I’m familiar with here, the apparent standard for being appointed to CARB is how well you can lie, cheat, steal, and go right along with every single agenda item that will continue to destroy and level California. Corey Jackson, Todd Gloria, Henry Stern are the templates(!!!) and we can easily make assumptions about the rest of ’em; that they are doppelgangers of that threesome.
For crying out loud, if we can’t soon witness these destructo-freaks shackled and perp-walked in orange jumpsuits, can we at least deposit them in the No-Man’s-Land of Train-to-Nowhere HQ in the Central Valley, change the direction of the thing to due east, have them pick up trash and debris until the train is built and run them out of the state on it? At high speed?
LOL, great idea having them them pick up trash and debris until the train is built eastward and then run them out of the state on it at high speed!
Marie Antoinette?
how did you feel on “liberation day”? supported? seen? heard?
I’ve never voted for him, but Eric Guerra is my Democrat councilman here in Sacramento. He was appointed to CARB by Newsom and he thinks that global warming is a critical issue. While he wastes time on climate change baloney and raises our gas taxes, Sacramento has broken streets full of potholes and cracks, crime is out of control, homeless are everywhere, and the local public schools are abysmal indoctrination centers.
Thanks for that info. Are their “stipends” public record?
There are just two main causes of this fuel tax increase: #1-DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR and, #2-DEMOCRAT State House and Senate. Period. Those two entities empower and encourage all the various other factors such as CARB, Sierra Club and other radical environmental groups. Lay all the blame at the feet of those two governing groups in Sac.
I’m not a business, nor do I run.
In time, count on democrat subsets to ‘thin out’ amongst themselves, as fraudulent access to federal money does likewise.
why don’t the voters in California get to vote on the high cost of everything? oh yeah King Newscum has control of everything along with his court of Demorats.
remember when you had a chance to vote the “a” hollow place in a solid surface out of office? why didn’t you? this is your fault.
all part of the Plan to end ICE vehicles, and force an “all-electric”, state-controlled populace.
a repairman recently working our home’s gas-fired tankless water heater said that only electric tankless would be sold in the near future.
state control of society ……
lol. the state regulates gas water hearts, electric water heaters. gasoline, gasoline vehicles, electric vehicles.
nothing new here.
Just printed what I call “The Guber’s Own Recall” petitions.
