Dear Taxpayer: Assembly Bill 1765, effective January 1, 2006, amends Revenue and Taxation Code section 60043 of the California State Diesel Fuel Tax Law to eliminate the licensing and reporting requirements for certain government entities. If you are a government entity purchasing only tax-paid diesel fuel for use in this state, owe no additional tax on your returns, and do not wish to claim a refund for nontaxable use of diesel fuel, pursuant to sections 60146 and 60205.5 you may qualify for closeout of your Government Entity Diesel Fuel Tax account. If you think you qualify, please complete the Certification portion at the bottom of this letter and mail it to the address above. If we determine that you qualify for closeout of your account, we will process your request and provide you with written notification. If you have questions about this notice, please call the Fuel Taxes Division of the State Board of Equalization at 916-322-9669 or toll-free at 800-400-7115 (follow prompts to fuel taxes).
