OR Rev Stat § 319.240 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 08 - Revenue and Taxation|Chapter 319 - Motor Vehicle and Aircraft Fuel Taxes|Section 319.240 - Exemption of export fuel.

(1)(a) The license tax imposed under ORS 319.020 may not be imposed on motor vehicle fuel that is exported from this state to another state, territory or country where the motor vehicle fuel is unloaded by a dealer who has a valid motor vehicle fuel dealer’s license or its equivalent issued by the state, territory or country to which the fuel is exported and where it is unloaded. (b) Except as provided in ORS 319.245, paragraph (a) of this subsection does not apply to motor vehicle fuel that is exported from this state to a federally recognized Indian reservation located wholly or partially within the borders of this state. (2) In support of any exemption from license taxes claimed under this section other than in the case of stock transfers or deliveries in equipment, every dealer must execute and file with the Department of Transportation an export certificate in such form as shall be prescribed, prepared and furnished by the department, containing a statement, made by some person having actual knowledge of the fact of such exportation, that the motor vehicle fuel has been exported from the State of Oregon, and giving such details with reference to such shipment as the department may require. All export certificates in support of shipments to other states, territories or countries must be completed and on file in the principal office of the dealer in this state within three months after the close of the calendar month in which the shipments to which they relate are made, unless the state, territory or country of destination would not be prejudiced with respect to its collection of taxes thereon if the certificate is not filed within such time. The department may demand of any dealer such additional data as is deemed necessary in support of any such certificate, and failure to supply such data will constitute a waiver of all right to exemption claimed by virtue of such certificate. The department may, in a case where it believes no useful purpose would be served by filing of an export certificate, waive the certificate. (3) Any motor vehicle fuel carried from this state in the fuel tank of a motor vehicle shall not be considered as exported from this state, except that a refund of the tax may be paid on such fuel as provided in ORS 319.280 (1)(d). (4) No person shall, through false statement, trick or device, or otherwise, obtain motor vehicle fuel for export upon which the Oregon tax has not been paid and fail to export the same, or any portion thereof, or cause the motor vehicle fuel or any portion thereof not to be exported, or shall divert the motor vehicle fuel or any portion thereof, or shall cause it to be diverted from interstate or foreign transit begun in this state, or shall unlawfully return the motor vehicle fuel or any portion thereof to be used or sold in this state and fail to notify the department and the dealer from whom the motor vehicle fuel was originally purchased of the person’s act. (5) No dealer or other person shall conspire with any person to withhold from export, or divert from interstate or foreign transit begun in this state, or to return motor vehicle fuel to this state for sale or use so as to avoid any of the taxes imposed under ORS 319.010 to 319.430.
