Who may file

  • Individuals who have purchased motor fuel that is exempt from the motor fuel user fee and other applicable fees.

Extensions
There is no provision in the motor fuel law for an extension on a claim for refund. The refund claim must be submitted within the thee year statute period.

​​How to file a refund request

Refunds must be filed monthly, quarterly, or biannually based on user fee. The exception to this rule is the Tare Refund which must be filed on a quarterly basis. In general, refunds do not have a specific due date, but the applicant must adhere to and apply the guidelines of the three statute of limitations law regardless of the filing period chosen.
