Fuel Tax Rebate

If your fleet operates off-road, you’re entitled to a rebate on the federal fuel tax. link2pump tracks eligible fuel use automatically for you.

Qualify for a Fuel Tax Rebate With link2pump’s Tracking

Every gallon of fuel sold in most markets includes a tax that funds public road infrastructure. If your vehicles use that fuel on private land, whether that’s a construction site, a quarry, a farm, or an off-road haul route, you didn’t use public roads, which means you’re entitled to a refund on that tax.

Most fleets leave this money unclaimed because tracking off-road fuel use manually is too complicated and too time-consuming. link2pump makes fuel tax rebate documentation automatic.

How link2pump’s Fuel Tax Rebate Tracking Works in Four Steps

link2pump handles the entire process as part of your normal fueling operations, with no separate tracking system required.

  • Every fueling event records vehicle, location, and equipment type at the pump
  • Telematics integration classifies on-road vs. off-road use automatically, with no manual input from your team
  • Off-road transactions are pre-formatted for federal excise tax rebate documentation so you’re ready to file
  • The same data set covers IFTA reporting for fleets crossing state lines

Who Is Eligible

Any operation fueling equipment off-road may qualify, including heavy construction, aggregates, agriculture, road construction, municipalities, and forestry. If your equipment fuels off public roads, there is likely an unclaimed rebate in your current operation.

What Makes link2pump Different

Most fuel management systems require manual classification of off-road fuel use. link2pump does it through telematics, so the difference is a filing built from actual transaction data versus an estimate assembled from paper logs, with none of the quarterly admin work in between.

“Cost awareness is vital and knowing the true cost of fuel helps identify inefficiencies, control expenses, and improve budgeting.”
