If a licensed Alabama supplier/permissive supplier sells dyed diesel fuel and/or dyed kerosene at a terminal rack outside of Alabama with destination of the product being Alabama and the purchaser is an Alabama inspection fee permit holder, then the Alabama supplier/permissive supplier is not responsible for the fee and does not have to report the transaction on the Alabama inspection fee return because the importer (that is an Alabama inspection fee permit holder) is responsible for reporting and paying the fee. If a licensed Alabama supplier/permissive supplier sells dyed diesel fuel and/or dyed kerosene at a terminal rack outside of Alabama with destination of the product being Alabama and the purchaser is not an Alabama inspection fee permit holder, then the Alabama supplier/permissive supplier is responsible for the Alabama inspection fee per Section 8-17-87(c) and (d), Code of Alabama 1975, and will have to report the transaction on line 6 of the Alabama inspection fee return.

Yes, unless the product is sold to a licensed federal government exempt entity. Sales to licensed exempt entities other than the federal government will be reported on the inspection fee return.

No, ethanol will not be reported on the inspection fee return. Ethanol that is blended with gasoline is taxable and is reported on the terminal excise tax return.

Effective October 1, 2016, the inspection fee will not apply to aviation fuels.

The inspection fee applies to dyed diesel if it is part of the asphalt mixture. There is no exemption of the fee authorized if the asphalt is manufactured in Alabama and dyed diesel is used in the process. There is no exemption of the fee granted if dyed diesel is used to heat the asphalt mixture to a temperature that produces a spreadable consistency. This heating process does not qualify under the steam boiler exemption section of the law as some have questioned in the past. The asphalt mixture is heated by a direct flame. If steam is only a by-product of the heating process, no exemption of the fee is authorized. The steam must be captured and used for a specific purpose in order to grant an exemption – like a food canning process or paper mill company, etc.

No, if you are only selling gasoline and undyed diesel fuel you do not have to get a bonded distributor permit with the Department of Revenue. However, if you are selling gasoline or undyed diesel fuel to any licensed exempt entity, you will need to have a distributor’s license in order to apply for a refund of the excise tax.
