Credit Card Payments. You can use a Discover/Novus, MasterCard, VISA, or American Express credit card to pay your taxes. Other credit cards cannot be accepted. EFT accounts are not eligible for credit card payments. Credit card payments can be made by calling 800-272-9829 or through our website at www.boe.ca.gov. After authorizing your payment, check the box on your return indicating you have paid with a credit card. Be sure to sign and mail your return. GENERAL INFORMATION Fuel vendors must file this return to report sales of the following types of fuels (when sold and delivered into the fuel tanks of motor vehicles): Compressed natural gas (CNG) Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) Alcohol fuels containing not more than 15 percent gasoline or diesel fuel (for example, ethanol and methanol) Kerosene, distillate, and stove oil Any fuel used or suitable for use in a motor vehicle, other than fuel subject to the diesel fuel tax or the motor vehicle fuel license tax (for example, gasoline and blended fuels with more than 15 percent gasoline are subject to the motor vehicle fuel license tax and not to use fuel tax) TAX LIABILITY Fuel vendors who sell and deliver the fuels described above into the tanks of motor vehicles must collect and report use fuel tax for such sales (note exemption below). Vendors must also provide purchasers (users) with a receipt for each sale. The receipt must show the name and address of the user (the sales invoice when paid constitutes a receipt). Exemption: Vendors are not required to collect use fuel tax for sales of compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, or liquid natural gas if the user's vehicle has a current Board of Equalization exemption sticker affixed. The sticker specifies the type of fuel that is exempt from tax (only the fuel specified on the sticker is exempt for that vehicle). FILING REQUIREMENTS Vendors must file returns. The return and tax payment is due on the last day of the month following the end of the reporting period. Payments should be made payable to the State Board of Equalization. Step 1: Complete Appropriate Schedules You must first complete the applicable schedules printed on the back of the return. Information from these schedules is used to complete parts of the return. Schedule A - Sales to Users Authorized to Purchase Ex-Tax Fuel under Regulations 1319 and 1320 Use this schedule to report sales of fuel for which you did not collect use fuel tax (fuel sold and delivered into the fuel tanks of motor vehicles with a valid Board of Equalization exemption certificate). Schedule B - Tax Credit on Bad Debt Losses. Use this schedule to report any amount of tax that you have been unable to collect from users. The credit should be taken on the return for the period the account is charged off for income tax purposes. Vendors using the reserve method to account for bad debts should take the credit on the return for the period in which the account was charged against the reserve. To claim this credit you must have reported and paid the tax on a return filed by you with the Board and you must have filed form BOE-120 Notice of Worthless Account (Bad Debts) (refer to Schedule D), and have written off the account as a bad debt for income tax purposes. You can claim a credit only for the amount of tax that applies to the unpaid portion of the account. Schedule C - Tax Recoveries on Bad Debt Losses Use this schedule to report recoveries of delinquent tax payments for users (accounts previously reported on Schedule B as bad debt losses). The tax collected must be included in the return due for the period in which the collection is made. When an account of the purchaser is no longer delinquent or amounts remaining unpaid for over 60 days have been cleared and the vendor is satisfied that the remainder of the account will be paid, the vendor should complete the pink copy of the Notice of Worthless Account (Bad Debts) BOE-120 by indicating the payment received. No tax credit is allowable for any portion of a debt recovered that is retained by or paid to any person as compensation for services or expenses in collecting the account. Schedule D - Delinquent Accounts Use this schedule to report any amounts unpaid arising from the sale of fuel or delinquent accounts on which you have been unable to collect payment. For each delinquent account you must complete a Notice of Worthless Account (Bad Debts) (BOE-120). Retain the pink and white copies for your records. Attach the blue and yellow copies to the return. In order to properly report all delinquent accounts you need to complete a form BOE-120 within 90 days of the calendar month that the sale took place. For example, if you sold 100 gallons of fuel on 1/15/99, you would have until the end of the April 1999 tax return period to claim this account as delinquent and submit a form BOE-120. Failure to claim this as a delinquent account in a timely fashion will constitute a waiver of the credit that might otherwise be allowable as explained in Regulation 1331.6.

Add lines 2 through 4. Subtract line 5 from line 1. Tax rate on use fuel. For each column, multiply the tax rate on line 7 times the amount shown on line 6 and enter the result for each column.
