Don’t forget to apply for fuel tax repayments

The Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) is accepting applications for partial repayments to ag producers or transporters of ag products who paid carbon fees related to the state’s cap and trade program on fuel purchases. Qualifying purchases are between Jan. 1 – Dec. 31, 2023. Funds will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis.

Applications should be submitted at DOL’s Agriculture Support Program website.

There’s also a list of frequently asked questions.

The Washington Association of Wheat Growers encourages growers to apply as soon as possible, as the $30 million set aside by the Legislature is expected to be far short of what is actually needed.
