APPLICABILITY. The biodiesel fuel tax credits 4 14 provided in sections 422.11H and 422.33 apply to tax years 4 15 beginning on or after January 1, 2004. The department of 4 16 revenue and finance shall perform functions, prior to the 4 17 beginning of that tax year, necessary in order to implement 4 18 the tax credits. 4 19 EXPLANATION 4 20 This bill is patterned after the ethanol-blended gasoline 4 21 tax credit provisions creating a tax credit for retail dealers 4 22 of motor vehicle fuel who sell ethanol-blended gasoline 4 23 (gasoline containing at least 10 percent alcohol). The 4 24 ethanol-blended gasoline tax credit applies to both taxpayers 4 25 filing as individuals under Code chapter 422, division II, and 4 26 businesses under Code chapter 422, division III. Pursuant to 4 27 the bill, a retail dealer may claim a tax credit for the sale 4 28 of biodiesel fuel if the retail dealer operates at least one 4 29 service station at which more than 5 percent of the total 4 30 gallons of special fuel for diesel engines sold is biodiesel 4 31 fuel. According to the bill, the amount of the tax credit for 4 32 each eligible service station is two and one-half cents 4 33 multiplied by the total number of gallons of biodiesel fuel 4 34 sold at that service station during the tax year in excess of 4 35 5 percent of all special fuel for diesel engines sold at that 5 1 service station. The bill also requires retail dealers to 5 2 report information regarding sales of special fuels and 5 3 biodiesel fuel to the department of natural resources. 5 4 Biodiesel fuel is a fuel which is a mixture of diesel fuel 5 5 and processed soybean oil, if at least 20 percent of the mixed 5 6 fuel by volume is processed soybean oil. The bill changes the 5 7 term "soydiesel" fuel to "biodiesel" fuel in Code chapter 159A 5 8 providing for renewable fuels. Code section 452A.2 defines a 5 9 "special fuel" as a fuel used for generating power for the 5 10 propulsion of motor vehicles other than motor fuel. 5 11 The tax credits apply to tax years beginning on or after 5 12 January 1, 2004. 5 13 LSB 2736HV 80 5 14 da/pj/5
