Gas TAX Refunds for VA & NC

How to apply for refunds of gas tax that applies to non-road (boat, tractor, lawn mower, etc.) use of the gas.

In Virginia, the application must be submitted with gas receipts for purchases within the 12 month period preceding the submission. Only purchases of 5 gals. or more are allowed for tax refund. Apparently, you can apply any time of the year. In North Carolina, you apply for purchases during the preceding calendar year, and the application must be filed by April 15. Gas receipts identifying the retailer’s name and address must be included with the applications.

For Virginia purchases, information and the link to the appropriate application form can be accessed at:

Residents of Virginia or North Carolina may submit applications for gas tax refunds to either or both states.
