| (a) Reports required.
(1) A dyed diesel fuel bonded user with an average
quarterly tax liability of $600 or less has the option to file reports
each quarter or each year. After a dyed diesel fuel bonded user has
selected a method of reporting, the method cannot be changed without
permission from the comptroller unless the dyed diesel fuel bonded
user's tax liability for a year exceeds $2,400, or the comptroller
deems change otherwise necessary. If the dyed diesel fuel bonded user's
diesel fuel tax liability during a year exceeds $2,400, the dyed diesel
fuel bonded user must file a report for all previous quarters of that
year. Future reports must be filed on a quarterly basis.
(2) Dyed diesel fuel bonded users with an average quarterly
tax liability of more than $600 must file quarterly reports.
(3) Compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas
dealers with an average quarterly tax liability of $600 or less have
the option to file reports each quarter or each year. After a compressed
natural gas and liquefied natural gas dealer has selected a method
of reporting, the dealer cannot change the method without permission
from the comptroller, unless the compressed natural gas and liquefied
natural gas dealer's tax liability for a year exceeds $2,400. The
comptroller may require a compressed natural gas and liquefied natural
gas dealer to change its method of reporting when the comptroller
deems change otherwise necessary. If the compressed natural gas and
liquefied natural gas dealer's tax liability during a year exceeds
$2,400, the compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas dealer
must file a report for all previous quarters of that year. Future
reports must be filed on a quarterly basis.
(4) The report and payment of tax on sales of compressed
natural gas and liquefied natural gas made from September 1, 2013,
through December 31, 2013, are to be included with the 2013 annual
return.
(b) Due dates.
(1) The due date for all annual reports is January
25th.
(2) The due date for all quarterly reports is the 25th
day of the month following the calendar quarter end date.
(3) If the report is filed by the due date, a request
for refund of taxes paid on compressed natural gas and liquefied natural
gas used out-of-state by a Texas interstate trucker must be made on
the annual report.
(c) Bonding requirements. Dyed diesel fuel bonded users
that report annually will be required to post security in the amount
of two times the annual tax liability on taxable uses of diesel fuel.
The minimum bond is $10,000. The bond may be waived if it is determined
that the bond is not necessary to protect the state.
(d) Changes in filing status.
(1) A license holder that is going out of business
or whose license is cancelled must file a report on or before the
25th day of the month following the calendar quarter in which business
ceased.
(2) Dyed diesel fuel bonded users will be notified
each March of any filing status change based on the dyed diesel fuel
bonded user's previous-year reports.
(e) Compressed natural gas/liquefied natural gas reports.
Licensed compressed natural gas/liquefied natural gas dealers who
are also compressed natural gas/liquefied natural gas interstate truckers
registered under a multistate tax agreement must file their compressed
natural gas/liquefied natural gas dealer report with the same frequency
that they report their interstate trucker operations under the multistate
tax agreement.
