The bill allows for an administrative allowance for diesel fuel suppliers and introduces a refund mechanism for retailers due to evaporation losses.

  • 78.12 (4) (b) 2.

    Multiply the number of gallons under subd. 1. by the rate published under s. 78.015 as increased under s. 78.017. → Multiply the number of gallons under subd. 1. 1n. by the rate published under s. 78.015 as increased under s. 78.017.

    The amendment changes the sources of the gallon calculation for tax multiplication from subd. 1 to subd. 1n, reflecting the introduction of new calculations.

  • 78.12 (4) (b)

    Subtract from the amount under subd. 1. an amount equal to 0.0125 multiplied by the number of gallons under subd. 1.

    This creates a new subtraction step in the diesel fuel tax computation to account for the administrative allowance.

  • 78.12 (4) (b)

    Subtract from the amount under subd. 1m. an amount equal to 0.001 multiplied by the number of gallons under subd. 1.

    This creates an additional subtraction step that further adjusts the amount before calculating the tax.

  • 78.201

    Any retail dealer who operates a service station, store, garage, or other place of business within this state for the retail sale of motor vehicle fuel from that place of business who has paid the tax imposed under s. 78.01 on the motor vehicle fuel received into storage at that place of business may claim a refund to cover motor vehicle fuel shrinkage and evaporation losses in an amount equal to 0.5 percent of the tax imposed under s. 78.01 on the purchase of the motor vehicle fuel.

    This new section allows retailers to claim refunds for evaporation losses of motor vehicle fuel, acknowledging previously unaddressed losses.
