Methods of Obtaining Fuel Tax-Free • Give a copy of your Exemption License to a Licensed Distributor or Licensed Supplier and have your fuel delivered to your tanks tax-free • Obtain a Credit Card from a participating Credit Card issuer and purchase your fuel from a local gas station that accepts those credit cards • Obtain fuel from a Licensed Distributor who owns a local gas station and they can bill you weekly or monthly. • Cities and Counties may purchase dyed diesel fuel from any entity that sells it and use it in on-road vehicles
Another Option • Exempt Entities can purchase fuel tax-paid and apply for a refund on a quarterly basis
Exempt Fuel • The purchasing of exempt fuel is for your own use. • During the licensing process, the Department has learned of some cities, counties, and school boards have been reselling the fuel. • The problem with reselling the fuel is some of the entities purchasing the fuel are not exempt the excise taxes. They may be non-profits, but all non-profits are not exempt or able to apply for a refund of taxes.
