Section 35.01.05.130 - DISTRIBUTOR'S FUEL TAX REPORTS

Sections 63-2406, 63-2407, 63-2408, 41-4909, Idaho Code

01.Monthly Reports. Every licensed distributor will file with the Tax Commission a monthly tax report, in gross gallons, with supporting detailed schedules on forms and in a manner prescribed by the Tax Commission. The distributor must keep detailed inventory records. With respect to the quantity of motor fuels and other petroleum products received during the month, the distributor will include a listing of each person from inside and outside Idaho supplying motor fuels and petroleum products to the distributor during the month and the number of gallons supplied by each supplier, on a load-by-load basis. Such reports must contain a declaration by the person filing the report that the statements contained therein are true and are made under penalties of perjury. The report will include such information as the Tax Commission may require.
02.Exemption from Licensing and Monthly Reporting. See Rule 135 for exemptions from obtaining a motor fuels distributor license and filing monthly reports.
03.Machine Tabulated Data. Machine tabulated data is accepted in lieu of detailed schedules on Tax Commission provided forms but only if the data is in the same format as shown on the required schedules. Before any other format may be used, the distributor must make a written request to the Tax Commission with a copy of the format and must be granted written authorization to use that format.
04.Timely Reporting. Any motor fuel and other petroleum product shipments that are:
a. Reported on a timely supplemental report is subject to interest but are not subject to penalty.
b. Not reported on a timely monthly or supplemental report is subject to interest and may be subject to penalty.
05.Motor Fuels Receipts. All gasoline, natural gasoline, gasoline blend stocks, ethanol, ethanol blended fuels, aircraft engine fuel, biodiesel, biodiesel blends, and undyed diesel fuel or other special fuels received by a distributor are subject to the fuels tax and transfer fee. All receipts of dyed diesel fuel and other petroleum products that are not subject to the special fuels tax are subject to the transfer fee. The special fuels tax is not imposed on gaseous fuels when the fuels are received. Refer to Rule 132 of these rules for the taxation and reporting of gaseous fuels used in motor vehicles.
06.Motor Fuels and Other Petroleum Products Presumed to be Distributed. Unless the contrary is established, it is presumed that all motor fuels and other petroleum products imported into this state by a distributor, which are no longer in the possession of that distributor, have been distributed. If the licensed distributor has returned to the refinery or pipeline terminal motor fuels and other petroleum products on which the tax and transfer fee has been paid or has had an accidental loss, the licensed distributor has the burden of showing the petroleum products were returned to the refinery or pipeline terminal or documenting the accidental loss. No refund of the transfer fee is allowed for accidental losses of motor fuels or other petroleum products.
07.Exported Fuel. Motor fuels or other petroleum products claimed as exported from Idaho must be supported by records. Records must include the following:
a. Tax reports or other evidence that will verify that the exported product was reported to and any tax due was paid to the jurisdiction into which the product was claimed to have been exported or evidence that the purchaser is a licensed distributor in the jurisdiction to which the exported product is destined; and
b. Common carrier shipping documents, bills of lading, manifests, and cost billings; or
c. Invoices, manifests, bills of lading or other documentation, signed by the receiving party to acknowledge receipt of the product; or
d. Accounts payable or receivable information for verifying payments to common carriers or payment by out-of-state parties to verify receipt of exported product.
e. In addition to the above, for a licensed distributor who maintains operations in Idaho, as well as other jurisdictions, evidence such as product inventory and transfer records must be retained to prove the transfer of product out of Idaho.
