This is a VERY helpful topic. I just don't understand enough. Could we get some more info? So far I think I've learned not to try this in AZ, right? In which states do we have to buy only from truck designated fuel places? Frankly I'm scared to try any of this b/c I don't know enough. Maybe a list can be started of can do and can't do states. Thx.

 

Diesel has the same tax rates on it at both parts. Except for a few states.

Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon, and Arizona. These are the ones that come to mind. I will try to research a little further.

Alot of companies use the comdata or whatever fuel company card used to provide them for the fuel purchased.

if you buy fuel at another locationa and provide a receipt. It provides the gallons purchased, state purchased and location. They would get the tax from that point.

Before making such purchases, it would be best to clear it with the company and make sure you are not getting into trouble.

 

I am an O/O, but not subject to IFTA anymore.

I know back in 2000 when I leased to Landstar, they tried to tell me I had to fill up at places that accepted the comcard only. They told me that they would prepare the return only with the comdata information.

I advised them if they filed my return that way, I would report them to the government for filing false returns. I explained they had to use ALL FUEL RECEIPTS. I then explained that I had 20 years of accounting background and knew the rules.

They said they would check on it and after 3 hours called me back and stated I could fill anywhere I wanted and the return would be properly filed.

 

This is a very great post. This just goes to show you that you can always and will always learn something in this industry.

 

I don't need anything re IFTA etc. Got that covered. Just don't want to be buying fuel at a place where some state says a commercial vehicle can't buy fuel. If there is such a thing. Perhaps I should just relax about that. Seems the pump should SAY not to use it if there was. Not sure that I'm not a little concerned even about getting some dyed fuel, but THAT should be stated on the pump.
