TIP #06B05-06
DATE ISSUED: January 12, 2007
A CLARIFICATION TO REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT USERS AND
MASS TRANSIT SYSTEM PROVIDERS
Local Government Users and Mass Transit System Providers are not authorized to report and receive a credit on tax-free gains when filing a Local Government User Fuel Tax Return or a Mass Transit System Provider Fuel Tax Return.
Chapter 206, Florida Statutes, limits the authority granted for reporting tax-free gains solely to licensed terminal suppliers, importers, exporters, blenders, and wholesalers. Local Government Users and Mass Transit System Providers are not permitted such authority. Therefore, beginning January 1, 2007, the Department must disallow any credits that originated from tax-free gains. Local Government Users or Mass Transit System Providers will be required to subtract any gains listed on Line 4 from the gasoline or undyed diesel gallons that were reported used on-highway (Line 3(c)). The difference will be reported as gallons entitled to a credit on the Local Government and Mass Transit Provider returns.
