Nebraska Biodiesel Tax Credit Act

The Nebraska Department of Revenue (DOR) has created a GovDelivery subscription category called “Nebraska Biodiesel Tax Credit" Click here to learn more about this free subscription service as well as sign up for automatic emails when DOR updates information about this new program.

Retail dealers who sold and dispensed biodiesel on a retail basis through a motor fuel pump located at a taxpayer’s retail motor fuel site are eligible to earn a refundable income tax credit of 14 cents per gallon multiplied by the total number gallons of biodiesel sold in the prior calendar year. If the product sold is a blend of biodiesel, only the part of the product that is biodiesel, as defined in Neb. Rev. Stat. §77-7010(1), is eligible for the tax credit and not the entire blend.

The credit and can be used for the tax year of application against any income tax imposed by the Nebraska Revenue Act of 1967, and any excess credits may be refunded or carried over until fully utilized.

Retail dealers may submit an application to DOR from January 1 to April 15 of each calendar year for credit on sales made in the prior calendar year.

Neb. Rev. Stat. §77-7011(5) restricts the annual application period to January 1 through April 15. The submission link will be deactivated outside of the application period and DOR cannot accept applications submitted by any other method.
