Right now, Arkansas does not recognize biodiesel as a motor fuel and 
therefore it is not taxed, at least that is what I hear from the state 
energy office who contacted the appropriate folks in the department of 
finance and administration.

The best I can tell from discussions on this list was that small 
producers of biodiesel are exempt from federal taxes.

[Biofuel] Government Regs

2005-08-29 Thread Peter Childers



I am investigating the State of North Carolina tax 
regulations on BioFuel production. I find out the tax rate is 27.1 cents per 
gallon and I have to post a surety bond for $2000 for a license. That is 
required for any type of Biodiesel production up to 500,000 gallons per year. I 
am still investigating the Federal tax requirements. North Carolina has even 
defined blending, mixing of regular diesel with WVO as a person who needs 
to post this bond. So if you plan to drive up to the French fry shack and dump 
some WVO in your tank you'll need a license with a $2000 bond and have to pay a 
tax. How is it in other States? Are all you Biodieselers operating in 
the underground market?
