Summary


The proposed amendments to Rule 12B-5.5150, F.A.C., will adopt changes for three existing forms. Revisions to Form DR-156T, Florida Temporary Fuel Tax Application, permit taxpayers to submit their completed application via email, allowing Department staff to review and approve/deny the application the same day it is submitted. Revisions to Form DR-191, Application for Aviation Fuel Tax Refund Air Carriers, conform with 2018 legislative changes entitling qualified air carriers to a refund of 1.42 cents per gallon beginning in July 2019. Revisions to Form DR-309652, Motor Fuel Taxes XML User Guide for eFile Developers and Transmitters, provide taxpayers with specific instructions on how to file using extensible (X) Markup Language (XML). Licensed Terminal Suppliers and Terminal Operators currently file their returns using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). The Department is in the process of converting the filing process from EDI to XML. This conversion meets national standards and provides General Tax Administration with a common filing platform.
