2005 Maine Code - §3208-A — Refund to political subdivisions

    Any political subdivision of the State that buys and uses special fuel as defined in section 3202, subsection 6, and that has paid a tax levied as provided by this chapter either directly by the collection of the tax by the vendor from the consumer, or indirectly by adding the amount of the tax to the price of the fuel and paid by the consumer, must be reimbursed in the amount of the tax paid upon presenting to the State Tax Assessor a statement accompanied by the original invoices showing purchases. By contractual agreement, any agency of this State or political subdivision of this State may assign to another person its right to receive funds under this section. Applications for refunds must be filed with the State Tax Assessor within 12 months from the date of purchase. [2005, c. 664, Pt. M, §1 (amd).]

    Notwithstanding this section, a county or a municipality may file a claim for refund of special fuel tax paid after January 1, 1984, but before April 1, 1986, for which no refund was previously claimed. [1987, c. 456, §2 (new).]
