Wyoming surface coal businesses pay less tax
Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming businesses mining surface coal pay a 6% severance tax, down from 6.5%. The statutory portion falls from 5% to 4.5%, including one component that falls from 1.5% to 1%. The constitutional portion stays at 1.5%. Underground coal’s total rate remains 3.75%. For both types of coal, the 1.5% tax portion continues going to the permanent Wyoming mineral trust fund. All remaining coal severance taxes go to the severance tax distribution account.
