If the report is not filed within 90 days of the end of the quarter in which the credit accrued, no refund may be paid.
Trans 152.09(2) (2)Credits. A licensee shall receive full credit for tax paid on fuel purchased in Wisconsin and consumed in another jurisdiction provided a fuel use tax is paid to the other jurisdiction. Upon request, the department shall refund the amount of any credit balance. Proof of payment of tax paid to Wisconsin and other jurisdictions may be required. A credit, when not refunded, shall be carried over to offset liabilities of the licensee in future reporting periods until the credit is fully offset or until 8 calendar quarters shall have passed from the end of the calendar quarter in which the credit accrued, whichever occurs sooner. A credit shall be forfeited if not used or refunded within the 8-quarter period.
Trans 152.09(3) (3)Delinquent taxes. As a condition to issuance of a fuel tax license, an applicant shall authorize on the application that a refund may be withheld if the licensee is delinquent of fuel use taxes due or taxes or fees due other agencies of this state. Refunds may be withheld if there is another tax or monetary liability due to another state agency. No refund shall be issued to any person that has not filed all reports due at the time of the request or who has not paid all taxes due under s. 341.45, Stats. The department may set off any refunds due a person if the person is delinquent of fuel taxes or any other fees to the department or any other state agency.
