Road use duty on LPG
Road use duty is payable on LPG supplied to autogas facilities or other filling stations for use in motor vehicle propulsion.
Exemption from road use duty
Exemptions from road use duty apply to:
- auto diesel oil for use in tractors, provided the oil is marked (through the addition of colouring and tracing agents)
- petrol used in work equipment with a two-stroke engine, e.g. chainsaws
If you use a boat or snowmobile in areas without roads, you can receive a refund for tax on petrol.
Filling up with the wrong fuel
If you mistakenly refuel with duty-free diesel (marked diesel), you must tell the Tax Administration.
How to report excise duties
You can report the tax digitally via Altinn. All enterprises that are registered as liable for excise duties can use the service.
Registering your enterprise as liable for tax
If you have an enterprise that imports fuel, you can opt to register as liable for tax. If you're registered, you'll pay the tax when you withdraw the goods from the enterprise's premises. The premises must be approved. If the goods are not placed on approved premises, you'll have to pay the tax when you import the goods. If you import fuel and are not registered as liable for tax, you'll have to pay the tax when you import the products.
Producers of fuel must register as liable for tax.
