aircraft, you are entitled to a refund of the difference between the diesel fuel tax rate and the jet fuel tax rate.

Complete Section V FUELS TAX REFUND to compute

the refund amount for the gasoline and/or diesel fuel tax

and Section VI FUELS TAX DUE to compute the aviation

gasoline and/or jet fuel tax due.

AIRCRAFT FUELS TAX DUE

Complete Section VI FUELS TAX DUE of this form to compute the aircraft fuels tax due if the Idaho fuels tax has not been paid on the diesel, gasoline, or other fuels used in your aircraft. You must report the tax due at the jet fuel or aviation gasoline tax rate.

USE TAX DUE

Use tax does not apply when the fuel purchased would qualify for the production, manufacturing,

farming, or other exemptions.

When fuel is not subject to motor fuels tax, it is subject to sales tax unless a sales tax exemption applies. If sales tax was not collected on its purchase, the purchaser owes use tax.

Use tax is a tax on goods that are put to use in Idaho. If sales tax has not been paid on goods that are used (or stored for later use), the person who uses or stores the goods in Idaho owes a use tax (unless the goods are held for resale or some other exemption applies).

The sale of motor fuel is exempt from sales and use tax if the fuel is subject to motor fuel tax or if the motor fuel tax is paid when the fuel is purchased. However, when a refund of the motor fuel tax is obtained, the value of the fuel less the state and federal taxes, if applicable, becomes subject to use tax. (See Speciic Line 4

Instructions for Section VII to determine if federal taxes are deductible.)

If you owe use tax, you must report it on your Idaho income tax return, Idaho sales or use tax return, or Form 75 by completing Section VII USE TAX DUE.
