Excise Taxes Explained
We’ve been around long enough to know that tax talk can quickly send anyone into a snore, so here’s a quick explanation.
Taxes are put on fuel used in the transportation systems across the U.S., making all cars, trains, boats, and aircraft subject to excise fuel taxes.
Excise taxes can be collected on a federal, state, and local level. But, certain fuels are non-taxable and entitle you to a tax excise fuel refund.
A Few Things to Know About Fuel Tax Recovery Plans
The fuel tax is collected differently among different levels. For example, at the Federal level, most of the taxes are collected when the product is removed from the bulk storage terminals.
States have a different method and rules for the point of taxation. Some tax the product upon removal from the bulk terminal while others impose the tax at the distributor level and have a series of approved distributors.
These bulk distributors hold licenses and file returns regularly where the state and local taxes are paid. Equipment eligible for a fuel refund:
- Boats & many other kinds of equipment & vehicles
- Gas Golf Carts & Maintenance Equipment
- Generators & construction equipment
- Mowers & Landscaping Equipment
- Planes and airlines
- Refrigerated Trucks & Trailers
Can’t My Regular Accountant Handle This?
Any competent and certified accountant can perform fuel excise tax refunds. But, wouldn’t you rather leave this to an expert?
While the fuel excise tax refund process can be carried out by any certified accounting professional, it is almost impossible to find one who does the same particularly for small and mid-sized companies.
On the one hand, it’s a timely and paperwork ridden process, which is why the average accountant avoids discussing them with their clients.
We understand that as a business owner of a small to a medium-sized organization you’ve learned a lot and had to self-teach along the way, but when it comes to fuel excise taxes and fuel tax refunds you’ll want a professional.
