What it does
The bill creates a tax credit for gasoline, diesel, and electric vehicle charging. Taxpayers can subtract what they spent on fuel from their taxes. The credit has no cap on how much someone can claim. People cannot claim the same fuel cost twice under different tax rules.
Who it affects
All drivers who buy fuel can use this credit. People who drive more miles or have less efficient vehicles get bigger tax breaks. Higher-income people benefit more because they pay more taxes.
One thing to notice
The credit has no income limit and no cap on the amount. Wealthy people and high-mileage drivers get the biggest tax breaks.
