§811. Export of tax paid special fuels; tax refunds or credit; interstate users

A. An interstate user of special fuels who is a bonded user of special fuels in the state of Louisiana may receive a tax refund or tax credit on that amount of tax paid on special fuels purchased in this state which exceeds the amount of fuel that would be consumed, based on the total motor vehicle mileage in the state. An interstate user of special fuels must be bonded and file reports in all states in which he operates in accordance with the requirements of those states.

B. An interstate user may determine his average number of miles of motor vehicle travel per gallon of fuel by dividing the total miles traveled by the number of gallons consumed in the entire operation of his vehicles. If an interstate user cannot furnish satisfactory evidence of his average number of miles per gallon of fuel, the Department of Revenue shall determine the rate to be applied to such user, which in no event shall exceed an average of five miles per gallon of fuel.
