Appeal Fuels Sales Tax in Louisiana

 
On May 18th, Agile filed a Motion for Suspensive Appeal.  Agile is pursuing an exemption for purchases of fuel including: jet fuel, aviation gasoline (avgas), off-road or dyed diesel, CNG, LNG, propane, butane, welding gases including oxygen, acetylene, etc.  

In a related note on June 26th, Act 424 was signed into law by Governor Edwards.  This Act amends the language in the section of the Statutes we had cited as the exemption for fuel.  The revised law specifies that the exemption is now only for residential fuels.  This strengthens our argument based on prior case law because it is a tacit admission that the “old” statute did not limit the exemption to residential fuel purchases.
