Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 47, § 720. Destruction of motor fuel by accidental or providential cause; credit or refund for taxes paid thereon

In the case of motor fuel in respect of which a tax has accrued hereunder and which is subsequently lost or destroyed by fire, lightning, flood, tornado, windstorm, explosion, or other accidental or providential cause, the dealer shall be entitled to credit of the amount of taxes accrued or paid on the gasoline lost or destroyed, which credit is to be allowed on taxes due and reported for the following month, provided that the credit shall be allowed by the secretary upon proper showing and acceptable proof of destruction. If at the time a dealer becomes entitled to this credit, he is no longer a dealer under this Part and is not indebted to the state for any taxes thereunder, the collector shall refund the amount of the credit from funds in the hands of the secretary which have been collected under this Part and which have not been paid to the state treasurer.
