Stop Overpaying for Reefer Fuel
If you operate a fleet, you are likely leaving thousands of dollars in federal excise taxes on the table every year. While fuel used for highway propulsion is taxable, the IRS allows trucking companies to recover the per gallon tax on diesel used for off-highway purposes. Even if your reefer draws from the same tank as the engine, you can claim a credit for the fuel consumed by that separate motor.
Our service helps you navigate the specific allocation methods required by the IRS, ensuring you differentiate correctly between propulsion and auxiliary use to reclaim the money that belongs to your business.
Landscaping Businesses
Your Mowers Are Burning Tax-Free Fuel
As a landscaper, your business is the ideal candidate for fuel tax recovery. The IRS rules are straightforward: equipment not registered for highway use is eligible for a full excise tax refund. This means virtually every drop of gasoline and diesel you pour into zero-turn mowers, string trimmers, chainsaws, chippers, and stump grinders is money the government owes you back.
Whether you are running skid steers or backpack blowers, if it doesn't hit the highway, it qualifies. We specialize in helping landscaping companies set up simple tracking systems to separate truck fuel from equipment fuel. We handle the filings to turn your daily operating costs into an annual revenue stream.
Golf Courses
Turn Maintenance Costs into Annual Refunds
Golf courses represent one of the most consistent opportunities for federal excise tax recovery because almost all your equipment operates exclusively on private property. The IRS allows you to claim refunds for fuel used in vehicles that are not highway-registered. This covers your entire fleet: gasoline-powered golf carts, fairway and greens mowers, bunker rakes, aerators, and even the beverage carts.
The savings add up fast. Whether you are a private club or a public entity, we help you audit your fuel usage. We ensure your documentation for "off-highway business use" meets IRS standards, allowing you to reinvest those tax dollars back into your greens and clubhouse.
Food Banks
Uncovering Hidden Credits for Nonprofits
Many 501(c)(3) organizations assume they are exempt from all taxes, or conversely, that they have no recourse for fuel taxes because there is no specific "charitable" fuel exemption. The reality is nuanced. While highway delivery trucks generally do not qualify for refunds, food banks can still recover significant costs through "off-highway business use" provisions—the same rules that apply to for-profit industry.
We help food banks identify these specific pockets of eligibility. We handle the complex filing requirements to ensure you maximize your operational budget without running afoul of strict IRS limitations on highway vehicles.
Outdoorsmen
Fuel Refunds for Your Company Toys
Do you use a boat, ATV, or UTV as part of your business operations? If so, you shouldn't be paying highway taxes on fuel used off-road. Many business owners deduct the purchase price of these vehicles but completely miss the federal excise tax refund on the fuel itself—a recurring cash-back opportunity.
The line between "personal pleasure" and "business use" is critical. Diesel fuel for business-use boats is generally refundable, and ATVs and UTVs must be kept off public highways to qualify. We act as your compliance shield, helping you navigate these complex "mixed-use" rules. We ensure your documentation clearly proves business intent, allowing you to claim every eligible dollar for your equipment.
