Statutes > Alaska > Title-43 > Chapter-43-40 > Sec-43-40-035(a) A person who resells fuel on which the tax under AS 43.40.010(a) or (b) was previously paid is entitled to a credit or refund of the tax if (1) the resold fuel is not motor fuel and the requirements of AS 43.40.015 have been fulfilled; or (2) the amount of tax previously paid exceeds the tax due on the resale. The amount of the credit or refund under this section is equal to the amount of tax previously paid on the resold fuel less the amount of tax prescribed by AS 43.40.010 (a) or (b).
(b) A reseller may elect, with the express written consent of the supplier of the reseller, to receive the credit or refund under this section directly from the supplier rather than by filing a claim for the credit or refund with the department. When an election is properly made under this subsection, the supplier may claim the credit or refund from the department. To be effective an election under this subsection must be signed in quadruplicate by the reseller and by the supplier. The reseller and the supplier shall each file one copy of the election, with original signatures, with the department. The reseller and supplier shall each retain a copy of the election with original signatures for audit review by the department. If an election is made under this subsection, it may not be revoked without the express written consent of the supplier.
(c) For fuel sold to federal, state, and local government agencies for official use and purchased with a government credit card, the credit card issuer may apply for a refund of any motor fuel tax assessed on the purchase if the tax is not billed by the credit card issuer to the government agency making the purchase.
