             Diesel Fuel (Special Fuel) Excise Tax
             Petroleum Fact Sheet 200
             Distributors
             Minnesota’s special fuel tax law requires the first licensed distributor receiving undyed diesel fuel or undyed kerosene to pay the special fuel 
             excise tax. Minnesota’s law is consistent with the federal dyeing program.
             Distributors can, however, receive a credit for tax paid on the following tax-free sales of undyed diesel fuel or undyed kerosene:
             •   sales of fuel for residential heating
             •   sales of fuel to the U.S. government
             •   exports of fuel out of Minnesota for product consigned to this state
             On the above sales only, licensed distributors may claim the credits based on the current filing requirements. Unlicensed distributors claim 
             tax-free sales by using Form PDR-1, Minnesota Motor Fuel Claim for Refund.
             Local Government, School Districts and Bus Companies
             State, local and county government units; school districts and bus companies are required to pay the special fuel tax on any low-sulfur, dyed 
             diesel fuel they use in licensed motor vehicles. 
             Government units may obtain a special fuel license from the Department of Revenue that enables them to pay the tax directly to Minnesota. 
             Tax should be paid based on the current filing requirements.
             School districts and bus companies may also obtain a special fuel license but are strongly encouraged to pay the tax directly to the supplier. 
             Suppliers then pay the tax to Minnesota. If the supplier is not licensed, they should send detailed sales records of dyed fuel gallons sold for 
             taxable use and submit with payment to their master jobber for reporting on the Special Fuel Tax Return.
             Retail Service Stations and Other Purchasers
             Retail service stations must charge the special fuel tax on all sales of undyed diesel fuel and undyed kerosene, except in the following 
             situations:
             •   undyed diesel fuel sold for exclusive use in a truck refrigeration unit
             •   undyed kerosene sold from a blocked pump (as defined by IRS regulations) and placed in tanks not used to propel a motor vehicle
             To receive a refund of tax paid on the above sales, the retail station operator must complete Form PDR-1, Minnesota Motor Fuel Claim for 
             Refund. Claims must be filed within one year from date of purchase. The postmark date is considered the filing date. Each claim must cover 
             only one month.
             For all other undyed fuel sales, the ultimate user is responsible for applying for a refund if the fuel is used for a qualifying off-highway 
             purpose. 
             In all cases, refund claims must be supported by original sales tickets.
             Record Keeping
             Although it is not necessary to be licensed or file a monthly tax return, retail service stations and bulk purchasers must maintain complete 
             records for at least 3½ years. 
             Records must include purchases, sales and transfers of special fuel, end-of-month meter readings and inventories. Auditors periodically 
             review records to ensure compliance with Minnesota and federal tax laws.
             Penalties
             The Minnesota penalty for misusing dyed diesel fuel in licensed motor vehicles is $1,000 or $10 per gallon, whichever is greater. This is 
             consistent with federal law. Violators with repeat infractions will have their penalties multiplied by the number of violations. For example, if 
             five violations have occurred, the fine is $5,000 or $50 per gallon. 
             The dyed diesel fuel penalty is in addition to any other penalty assessed for nonpayment of taxes. 
             Tipline
