Refunds for the Special Fuel Surcharge -- Refunds for the special fuel surcharge (including that imposed on diesel, biodiesel, compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas) are available to non-motor carriers who purchased special fuel in Indiana on or after July 1, 2017. In order to claim a refund, submit the GA-110L Refund Claim Form. Include your vehicle make, model and VIN on the GA-110L. Refund claims may only be submitted once a quarter. If submitting receipts, they must be legible and include the number of diesel gallons purchased along with the purchase location. If filing a claim without receipts, you must also include the purchase dates, purchase locations and the number of gallons purchased on the GA-110L form. Without receipts, DOR will not refund a claim over $20. If you have any questions, please contact Special Fuel Tax at 317-615-2630 or by email at Fetax@dor.in.gov.
