Overview. This section provides rules under which ultimate purchasers of taxed diesel fuel and kerosene may claim the income tax credits or payments allowed by section 6427(l).

Claims relating to diesel fuel and kerosene sold for use on a farm for farming purposes and by a State are made by registered ultimate vendors under § 48.6427-9; claims relating to kerosene sold from a blocked pump are made by registered ultimate vendors (blocked pump) under § 48.6427-10; and claims relating to kerosene sold during certain periods of extreme cold for blending with diesel fuel to be used for heating purposes are made by registered ultimate vendors (blending) under § 48.6427-11. (b)
Conditions to allowance of credit or payment - (1)
In general. Except as provided in section 6427(l)(5), a claim for an income tax credit or payment with respect to diesel fuel or kerosene is allowed under section 6427(l) only if - (i) Tax was imposed by section 4081 on the diesel fuel or kerosene to which the claim relates; (ii) The claimant produced or bought the diesel fuel or kerosene and did not sell it in the United States; (iii) The claimant has filed a timely claim for a credit or payment that contains the information required under paragraph (d) of this section; (iv) The diesel fuel or kerosene was not bought under a certificate described in § 48.6427-9(e)(2) (relating to Certificate of Farming Use or State Use); (v) The diesel fuel or kerosene was not used on a farm for farming purposes (as defined in § 48.6420-4) or by a State; (vi) With respect to kerosene, the kerosene was not sold from a blocked pump or sold for blending with diesel fuel under the conditions described in § 48.6427-11; and
(vii) The diesel fuel or kerosene was either - (A) Used in a use described in § 48.4082-4(c)(3) through (c)(8); (B) Exported; (C) Used other than as a fuel in a propulsion engine of a diesel-powered highway vehicle; or
(D) Used as a fuel in the propulsion engine of a diesel-powered bus if the bus was engaged in a use described in section 6427(b)(1) (after the application of section 6427(b)(3)). (2)
Examples. The following examples illustrate this paragraph (b).
(ii) A credit or payment is not allowable to F with respect to the 200 gallons of diesel fuel used in the farm
tractor. Even though this fuel was used other than as a fuel in a propulsion engine of a diesel-powered highway vehicle (thus meeting the condition in paragraph (b)(1)(vii)(C) of this section), the condition in paragraph (b)(1)(v) of this section is not satisfied because the fuel was used on a farm for farming purposes.
