RULE §3.443Diesel Fuel Tax Exemption for Water, Fuel Ethanol, Biodiesel, Renewable Diesel, and Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Mixtures

  (3) An IFTA licensee who overpays the tax on a water-based diesel fuel, ethanol blended diesel fuel, biodiesel, renewable diesel, biodiesel blend, or renewable diesel blend by way of an IFTA tax return may request a refund from the comptroller. A refund claim must be supported with purchase invoice(s) as described in subsection (c) of this section. The total volume of diesel fuel that is purchased is presumed to be taxable diesel fuel if the purchase invoice(s) do not meet the requirements of subsection (c) of this section.

(i) A license holder who makes the first sale in Texas or import into Texas of biodiesel, renewable diesel, or a mixture of water, fuel grade ethanol, biodiesel, or renewable diesel that is blended with taxable petroleum-based diesel fuel, may elect to collect and remit the tax imposed on diesel fuel pursuant to Tax Code, §162.201, rather than complying with subsections (c), (d), and (e) of this section. Biodiesel, renewable diesel, or the volume of water, fuel grade ethanol, biodiesel, or renewable diesel that is blended with taxable petroleum-based diesel fuel, on which tax has been paid is not exempt from tax on a subsequent sale and subsections (c), (d), and (e) of this section do not apply to a subsequent sale. A license holder, dealer, or other purchaser who pays tax on biodiesel, renewable diesel, or the volume of water, fuel grade ethanol, biodiesel, or renewable diesel that is blended with taxable petroleum-based diesel fuel, is not entitled to a credit or refund.
