can you write off the road tax that you pay on every gallon of gas for your boat?
|
yes -- i will post the link when i get to work tomorrow -- it is 0.18 per gallon if i am correct.. can also go back as far as 3 yrs if you have receipts...
|
Only for certain states? That link that was posted earlier was only for states that approved it. Unless it didn't have all the states listed.
|
this is what i pulled from the link for NC -- maybe Google it for your particular state as leo mentioned.. <BR> <BR>North Carolina: Recreational boaters can apply for a refund of the state sales tax on gasoline and diesel fuel that is purchased at a highway pump for use in their boats. The current refund is approximately $0.18 per gallon, after taking the current tax of $0.242 and subtracting a use fee of $0.06. The claims are filed annually, and must have original sales invoices attached. Boaters may claim a refund back three years, as long as they have the receipts attached. <BR>To download form Gas 1201 directly off the Internet, go to <a href="http://www.dor.state.nc.us/forms/" target="_blank">www.dor.state.nc.us/forms/</a> <<a href="http://www.dor.state.nc.us/forms/" target="_blank">http://www.dor.state.nc.us/forms/</a>>. Once there, click on Motor Fuels and then scroll down to Gas-1201. For more information, call (919) 733-3409.

I've been told you have to keep reciepts and they are to be mailed in, is this correct?
|
receipts have to me kept and mailed in -- i keep mine and make a summary when filed....
|
thanks jt i actually live in nc so that works perfect.
|
So, does this go by an honesty policy? I use a ton of fuel throughout the year, but I usually don't get a receipt. If I got one for everything, how would they prove that it was only for off-road purposes?
|
I think you would probably have to show how many hours your boat has used over the year by taking a picture of your hour meter and showing them how long you have owned the boat. But what if they don't believe you. Like me, I put 200hrs on a boat easily a year. Would they believe me?
