Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 47, § 717. Exclusions and exemptions; gasoline or motor fuel exported from Louisiana

A. Any gasoline or motor fuel, whether manufactured in this state or imported into this state from another state or foreign country, which is later exported from this state, shall not be liable to the tax levied in this Part. However, no deduction or refund of the amount of any tax paid on gasoline or motor fuel which has been exported beyond the borders of this state shall be allowed by the secretary unless the claim for such deduction or refund of the amount of the tax is supported by standard bills of lading issued by a common or contract carrier showing the exportation of the gasoline or motor fuel, and by proof of the genuineness of such bill of lading satisfactory in all respects to the secretary.

B. In the event the exportation is made other than by common or contract carrier, the claim for deduction or refund shall be supported by an official tax receipt from the state in which the gasoline or motor fuel was actually received, or by other proof of export in compliance with Subsection C of this Section.

C. A claim for deduction or refund on gasoline exported to another state, by the dealer, firm, or person claiming the deduction or refund shall be supported by authentic evidence of exportation satisfactory to the secretary, whose decision on the allowance of the claim shall be deemed prima facie correct. These requirements in support of the proof of exportation of gasoline or motor fuel shall apply to all persons, jobbers, or dealers who may make application for deduction or refund of the tax on gasoline or motor fuel claimed to have been exported beyond the borders of this state.
