Commercial Fuel Tax Recovery

 

Commercial fleets often have significant untapped opportunities for fuel tax recovery. With fuel taxes representing up to 40% of your fleets fuel cost, identifying and documenting non-taxable uses of fuel can provide significant cost savings. Although laws vary between taxing jurisdictions, non-taxable uses may include:

 

    • Non-highway vehicles - (i.e. construction equipment, farm and landscaping equipment, unlicensed vehicles)
  • Separate engines mounted on highway vehicles - (i.e. refrigeration units, garbage trucks, cement mixers)
  • Stationary engines - (i.e. compressors, generators)
  • Heating oil

 

Navigating through the complex system of excise tax laws at the federal, state and local level is a daunting undertaking. Our staff has a complete understanding of fuel tax laws, interpretations and applications. We closely monitor fuel tax legislation including administrative rulings, court cases, code changes, private letter rulings and appeals. Our clients have the confidence that we pursue every refund that they are entitled to. Our tax recovery efforts are supported with strong documentation and sound tax research.
