§802.1. Refunds; undyed diesel fuel used for other than highway purposes

A. Prior to purchasing undyed special fuel for nontaxable purposes, a user must meet the following requirements and conditions in order to file a claim for refund or credit.

(1)The user must make application to receive approval from the Department of Revenue, on forms prescribed by the secretary, stating the purposes for which such fuel will be used.

(2)The user must furnish a copy of the department's approval to his supplier prior to purchasing fuel.

B. Users, meeting the qualifications of Subsection A, who have paid the taxes levied under R.S. 47:802(A) and 820.1(A) on undyed special fuels may obtain a refund when the fuel is used for a purpose other than in a vehicle licensed or required to be licensed for highway use. This refund can be exercised under one of the following options, each of which shall foreclose the user from exercising any other option as related to the same period and fuel:

(1)Users may file a quarterly refund claim with the secretary of the Department of Revenue setting forth the amount of fuel purchased during the quarter with the amount of tax paid, the licensed suppliers from which the fuel was purchased and the purpose for which the fuel was used on forms prescribed by the secretary.

(2)Users may assign the right to their refund to the licensed suppliers who sold or delivered the fuel to the user. Such licensed suppliers shall issue a credit to the user for the tax and, having done so, may then claim the credit on the return filed for the reporting period in which the credit was given.

C. The secretary shall promulgate rules and regulations for the administration and enforcement of this Section.
