Are You Overpaying Fuel Tax?
YES – if any of these apply to you:
You're using diesel or gasoline in licensed trucks/equipment with PTOs (power take-off) and not claiming the provincial refund.
You're using clear or marked (dyed) diesel/gasoline in generators for heating or power and not claiming the federal excise tax refund.
Real Example (BC Hydro-vac Fleet)
A 10-truck Hydro-vac fleet in BC using 360,000 L of diesel/year leaves $21,600 on the table if they skip the refund.
Quantum Fuel Tax Consulting has recovered $25 M+ for clients since 1996 with zero upfront fees. — We only get paid when you do.
Your refund is waiting. Let’s go get it.
What we do
We get you 100% of the fuel tax you’re legally entitled to — with zero upfront fees.
Most fleets overpay thousands of dollars each year because they buy clear fuel at the pump but use it in off-road or auxiliary equipment where little or no tax applies.
We handle two simple, high-value refunds for you:
1. Provincial Fuel Tax Refund
Get back the difference between clear and coloured fuel tax when you use clear fuel for:
Rotating ready-mix concrete drums
Pumping concrete, water, sewage, gravel, etc.
Running PTO-powered drilling or vacuum units
Operating reefers/temperature control units
Hydraulic logging arms, mobile cranes, and more
2. Canada-Wide Federal Excise Tax Refund
Full refund of the 4¢/L federal excise tax on clear or marked fuel used in:
Generators and power packs (heating, lighting, job-site power)
No upfront fees. No risk. Just money back in your pocket.
Who is eligible for a rebate?
If you're using a PTO on your licensed equipment or using generators for heating and electricity, you're likely eligible.
Companies
Any company that has a licensed fleet that uses clear fuel while the PTO operates. Or generators using clear/marked fuel used to produce electricity and heat.
Trucks
Licensed heavy-duty trucks using a PTO to move liquids and materials (e.g., Tank Trucks, Hydro-vac, Concrete Pumpers).
Generators
Generators that are used for heating and electricity.
How Many Years Can You Go Back?
A refund application must be received by us within four years from the date the tax was paid. Don't delay — every year counts!
