A refund application on a form prescribed by the assessor must be filed to claim a refund pursuant to this section. Interest must be paid at the rate determined pursuant to section 186, calculated from the date of receipt of the claim, for all valid claims not paid within 30 days of receipt. Applications for refunds must be filed with the assessor within 12 months from the date of purchase. [2007, c. 438, §87 (AMD).]

All fuel qualifying for a refund under this section is subject to the use tax imposed by chapter 215. [2003, c. 390, §17 (RPR).]
