BISMARCK – June 30 is the last day to apply for a refund of the state fuel taxes paid on gasoline/gasohol in 2021.

A refund of the tax paid for fuel purchased in 2021 to power farm, ranch, and industrial equipment used off-road is available to qualified consumers. Farmers and ranchers may receive a refund of 23 cents per gallon, and industrial consumers may request a refund of 22.5 cents per gallon.

The taxes are refundable because construction equipment, tractors and combines generally do not travel on public highways. In 2021, $156,873 in refunds were issued for about 684,000 gallons of motor fuel sold in 2020, according to the State Tax Commission.

For more information on the motor fuel tax refund, taxpayers may go to www.tax.nd.gov/MotorFuel or call the Motor Fuel Tax Section at 328-2702.
