207.004 Registration of motor carriers; identifying devices; fees; renewals; temporary fuel-use permits and driveaway permits.—

(1)(a) No motor carrier shall operate or cause to be operated in this state any commercial motor vehicle, other than a Florida-based commercial motor vehicle that travels Florida intrastate mileage only, that uses diesel fuel or motor fuel until such carrier has registered with the department or has registered under a cooperative reciprocal agreement as described in s. 207.0281, after such time as this state enters into such agreement, and has been issued an identifying device or such carrier has been issued a permit as authorized under subsections (4) and (5) for each vehicle operated. There shall be a fee of $4 per year or any fraction thereof for each such identifying device issued. The identifying device shall be provided by the department and must be conspicuously displayed on the commercial motor vehicle as prescribed by the department while it is being operated on the public highways of this state. The transfer of an identifying device from one vehicle to another vehicle or from one motor carrier to another motor carrier is prohibited.

(b) The motor carrier to whom an identifying device has been issued shall be solely responsible for the proper use of the identifying device by its employees, consignees, or lessees.

(2) Identifying devices shall be issued each year for the period January 1 through December 31, or any portion thereof, if tax returns and tax payments, when applicable, have been submitted to the department for prior reporting periods. Identifying devices may be displayed for the next succeeding indicia period beginning December 1 of each year.

(3) If a motor carrier no longer operates or causes to be operated in this state a commercial motor vehicle, the identifying device shall be destroyed and the motor carrier to whom the device was issued shall notify the department immediately by letter of such removal and of the number of the identifying device that has been destroyed.

(4) A motor carrier, before operating a commercial motor vehicle on the public highways of this state, must display an identifying device as required under subsections (1) and (2) or must obtain a temporary fuel-use permit for that vehicle. A temporary fuel-use permit shall expire within 10 days after date of issuance. The cost of a temporary fuel-use permit is $45, and the permit exempts the vehicle from the payment of the motor fuel or diesel fuel tax imposed under this chapter during the term for which the permit is valid. However, the vehicle is not exempt from paying the fuel tax at the pump.

(5)(a) A registered motor carrier holding a valid certificate of registration may, upon payment of the $45 fee per permit, secure from the department, or any wire service authorized by the department, a temporary fuel-use permit. A blank temporary fuel-use permit, before its use, must be executed by the motor carrier, in ink or type, so as to identify the carrier, the vehicle to which the permit is assigned, and the date that the vehicle is placed in and removed from service. The temporary fuel-use permit shall also show a complete identification of the vehicle on which the permit is to be used, together with the name and address of the owner or lessee of the vehicle. The endorsed temporary fuel-use permit shall then be carried on the vehicle that it identifies and shall be exhibited on demand to any authorized personnel. Temporary fuel-use permits may be transmitted to the motor carrier by electronic means and shall be completed as outlined by department personnel prior to transmittal. The motor carrier to whom a temporary fuel-use permit is issued shall be solely responsible for the proper use of the permit by its employees, consignees, or lessees. Any erasure, alteration, or unauthorized use of a temporary fuel-use permit shall render it invalid and of no effect. A motor carrier to whom a temporary fuel-use permit is issued may not knowingly allow the permit to be used by any other person or organization.

(b) An unregistered motor carrier may, upon payment of the $45 fee, secure from any wire service authorized by the department, by electronic means, a temporary fuel-use permit that shall be valid for a period of 10 days. Such permit must show the name and address of the unregistered motor carrier to whom it is issued, the date the vehicle is placed in and removed from service, a complete identification of the vehicle on which the permit is to be used, and the name and address of the owner or lessee of the vehicle. The temporary fuel-use permit shall then be carried on the vehicle that it identifies and shall be exhibited on demand to any authorized personnel. The unregistered motor carrier to whom a temporary fuel-use permit is issued shall be solely responsible for the proper use of the permit by its employees, consignees, or lessees. Any erasure, alteration, or unauthorized use of a temporary fuel-use permit shall render it invalid and of no effect. The unregistered motor carrier to whom a temporary fuel-use permit is issued may not knowingly allow the permit to be used by any other person or organization.

(c) A registered motor carrier engaged in driveaway transportation, in which the cargo is the vehicle itself and is in transit to stock inventory and the ownership of the vehicle is not vested in the motor carrier, may, upon payment of the $4 fee, secure from the department a driveaway permit. The driveaway permits shall be issued for the period January 1 through December 31. An original permit must be in the possession of the operator of each vehicle and shall be exhibited on demand to any authorized personnel. Vehicle mileage reports must be submitted by the motor carrier, and the road privilege tax must be paid on all miles operated within this state during the reporting period. All other provisions of this chapter shall apply to the holder of a driveaway permit.

Note.—Former s. 206.974.

207.005 Returns and payment of tax; delinquencies; calculation of fuel used during operations in the state; credit; bond.—

(1) The taxes levied under this chapter shall be due and payable on the first day of the month following the last month of the reporting period. The department may promulgate rules for requiring and establishing procedures for annual, semiannual, or quarterly filing. The reporting period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and ending June 30. It shall be the duty of each motor carrier registered or required to be registered under the provisions of this chapter to submit a return within 30 days after the due date. The due date shall be as follows:

(a) If annual filing, the due date shall be July 1;

(b) If semiannual filing, the due dates shall be January 1 and July 1; or

(2) The amount of fuel used in the propulsion of any commercial motor vehicle within this state may be calculated, if the motor carrier maintains adequate records, by applying total interstate vehicular consumption of all diesel fuel and motor fuel used as related to total miles traveled and applying such rate to total miles traveled within this state. In the absence of adequate documentation by the motor carrier, the department is authorized to promulgate rules converting miles driven to gallons used.

(3) For the purpose of computing the carrier’s liability for the road privilege tax, the total gallons of fuel used in the propulsion of any commercial motor vehicle in this state shall be multiplied by the rates provided in parts I, II, and IV of chapter 206. From the sum determined by this calculation, there shall be allowed a credit equal to the amount of the tax per gallon under parts I, II, and IV of chapter 206 for each gallon of fuel purchased in this state during the reporting period when the diesel fuel or motor fuel tax was paid at the time of purchase. If the tax paid under parts I, II, and IV of chapter 206 exceeds the total tax due under this chapter, the excess may be allowed as a credit against future tax payments, until the credit is fully offset or until eight calendar quarters shall have passed since the end of the calendar quarter in which the credit accrued, whichever occurs first. A refund may be made for this credit provided it exceeds $10.

(4) The department is authorized to promulgate the necessary rules to provide for an adequate bond from each motor carrier to ensure payment of taxes required under this chapter.

Note.—Former s. 206.977.

207.007 Offenses; penalties and interest.—

(1) If any motor carrier registered under this chapter fails to file a return and pay any tax liability under this chapter within the time required hereunder, the department may impose a delinquency penalty of $50 or 10 percent of the delinquent taxes due, whichever is greater, if the failure is for not more than 30 days, with an additional 10 percent penalty for each additional 30 days, or fraction thereof, during the time which the failure continues, not to exceed a total penalty of 100 percent in the aggregate. However, the penalty may not be less than $50.

(2) In addition to any other penalties, any delinquent tax shall bear interest at the rate of 1 percent per month, or fraction thereof, calculated from the date the tax was due. If the department enters into a cooperative reciprocal agreement under the provisions of s. 207.0281, the department shall collect and distribute all interest due to other jurisdictions at the same rate as if such interest were due to the state.

(3) Any person who:

(a) Willfully refuses or neglects to make any statement, report, or return required by the provisions of this chapter;

(b) Knowingly makes, or assists any other person in making, a false statement in a return or report or in connection with an application for registration under this chapter; or

is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. In addition, the department may revoke or suspend the registration privileges under ss. 207.004 and 320.02 of the violator. Each day or part thereof during which a person operates or causes to be operated a commercial motor vehicle without being the holder of an identifying device or having a valid temporary fuel-use or driveaway permit as required by this chapter constitutes a separate offense within the meaning of this section. In addition to the penalty imposed by this section, the defendant shall be required to pay all taxes, interest, and penalties due to the state.

(2) The department has authority to adopt rules pursuant to ss. 120.536(1) and 120.54 to enforce the provisions of this chapter.

(3) The department, or any authorized agent thereof, is authorized to examine the records, books, papers, and equipment of any motor carrier, any retail dealer of diesel fuels, and any wholesale distributor of diesel fuels or motor fuels that are deemed necessary to verify the truth and accuracy of any statement or report and ascertain whether the tax imposed by this chapter has been paid.

(4) The department or any of its duly authorized agents shall have the power in the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter to hold hearings, administer oaths to witnesses, and take the sworn testimony of any person and cause it to be transcribed into writing; for such purposes, the department shall be authorized to issue subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum and conduct such investigations as it may deem necessary.

(5) If any person unreasonably refuses access to such records, books, papers, other documents, or equipment, or if any person fails or refuses to obey such subpoenas duces tecum or to testify, except for lawful reasons, before the department or any of its authorized agents, the department shall certify the names and facts to the clerk of the circuit court of any county; and the circuit court shall enter such order against such person in the premises as the enforcement of this chapter requires.

(6) In any action or proceeding for the collection of the tax and penalties or interest imposed in connection therewith, an assessment by the department of the amount of the tax, penalties, or interest due shall be prima facie evidence of the claim of the state; and the burden of proof shall be upon the person charged to show that the assessment was incorrect and contrary to law.

Note.—Former s. 206.981.

207.012 Estimate of amount of tax due and unpaid.—

(1) Whenever any motor carrier neglects or refuses to make and file any report for any reporting period as required by this chapter or files an incorrect or fraudulent report, or is in default in the payment of any taxes and penalties thereon payable under this chapter, the department, after giving at least 10 days’ notice to the motor carrier, shall, from any information it may be able to obtain from its office or elsewhere, estimate the number of gallons of fuel with respect to which the motor carrier has become liable for taxes under this chapter and the amount of taxes due and payable thereon, to which sum shall be added the penalties and interest required under s. 207.007.

(2) In any action or proceeding for the collection of the tax and any penalties or interest imposed in connection therewith, an assessment by the department in the amount of the tax due and the interest or penalties due to the state shall constitute prima facie evidence of the claim of the state; and the burden of proof shall be upon the motor carrier to show that the assessment was incorrect or contrary to law.

However, if it shall be found as a fact that such claim for, or grant of, an exemption or credit was willful on the part of any motor carrier, retail dealer, or distributor of diesel fuel or motor fuel, judgment shall be rendered for double the amount of the tax found to be due with costs. The department may employ an attorney at law to institute and prosecute proper proceedings to enforce payment of the taxes, penalties, and interest provided for by this chapter and may fix the compensation for the services of such attorney at law.

207.014 Departmental warrant for collection of unpaid taxes.—

(1) Upon the determination of the amount of unpaid taxes and penalties due from a person, the department may issue a warrant, under its official seal, directed to the sheriff of any county of the state, commanding the sheriff to levy upon and sell the goods and chattels of such person found within the sheriff’s jurisdiction for the payment of the amount of such delinquency, with the added penalties and interest and the cost of executing the warrant and conducting the sale, and to return such warrant to the department and pay the department the money collected by virtue thereof. However, any surplus resulting from such sale after all payments of costs, penalties, and delinquent taxes have been made shall be returned to the defaulting person.

(2) The sheriff to whom any such warrant is directed shall proceed upon the same in the same manner as prescribed by law in respect to executions issued against goods and chattels upon judgment by the several circuit courts, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.

(3) In the event there is a contest or claim of any kind with reference to the property levied upon or the amount of taxes, costs, or penalties due, such contest or claim shall be tried in the circuit court in and for the county in which the warrant was executed, as nearly as may be in the same manner and means as such contest or claim would have been tried in such court had the warrant originally issued upon a judgment rendered by such court. The warrant issued as provided in this section shall constitute prima facie evidence of the amount of taxes, interest, and penalties due to the state by the motor carrier; and the burden of proof shall be upon the motor carrier, retail dealer, or distributor of diesel fuel or motor fuel to show that the amounts or penalties were incorrect.

(4) Nothing in this section shall be construed as forfeiting or waiving any rights to collect such taxes or penalties by an action upon any bonds that may be filed with the department under the provisions of this chapter or by suit or otherwise; and in case such suit, action, or other proceeding is instituted for the collection of the tax, such suit, action, or other proceeding shall not be construed as waiving any other right herein provided. Any civil proceeding under this chapter shall not be construed as a waiver or as an estoppel in any criminal proceeding against such person under this chapter.

207.015 Tax a lien on property.—If any person liable for the tax imposed by this chapter neglects or refuses to pay it, the amount of the tax, including any interest, penalty, or addition to the tax, with any cost that may accrue in addition thereto, shall be a lien in favor of the state upon all franchises, property, and rights to property, whether real or personal, then belonging to or thereafter acquired by the person, whether the property is employed by the person in the prosecution of business or is in the hands of an assignee, trustee, or receiver for the benefit of creditors, from the date the taxes are due and payable. The lien shall have priority over any lien or encumbrance whatsoever except the lien of other state taxes having priority by law, and except that the lien shall not be valid as against any bona fide mortgagee, pledgee, judgment creditor, or purchaser whose rights attached before the time when the department filed claim of lien in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of the county where the principal place of business of the person is located or, if the person has no principal place of business in the state, in the office of the Department of State, for which no filing fee shall be required. The lien shall continue until the amount of the tax, with any penalties and interest subsequently accruing, is paid or until the tax is barred under chapter 95. The department may issue a certificate of release of lien when the amount of the tax, with any penalties and interest subsequently accruing thereon, has been satisfied by the person; and the person may record it with the clerk of the circuit court of the county where the claim of lien was filed.

A certificate of the department setting forth the amount of taxes due shall be prima facie evidence of the matter therein contained. The action may be instituted at any time after the lien becomes effective and before it is barred under chapter 95. The title to the land conveyed by such deed shall be indefeasible as to all parties defendant in the action.

207.019 Discontinuance or transfer of business; change of address.—

(1) Whenever a person ceases to engage in business as a motor carrier within the state by reason of the discontinuance, sale, or transfer of the business of such person, he or she shall notify the department in writing at least 10 days prior to the time the discontinuance, sale, or transfer takes effect. Such notice shall give the date of discontinuance and, in the event of a sale or transfer of the business, the date thereof and the name and address of the purchaser or transferee. All diesel fuel or motor fuel use taxes shall become due and payable concurrently with such discontinuance, sale, or transfer; and any such person shall, concurrently with such discontinuance, sale, or transfer, make a report, pay all such taxes, interest, and penalties, and surrender to the department the registration issued to such person.

(2) Unless notice has been given to the department as provided in subsection (1), such purchaser or transferee is liable to the state for the amount of all taxes, penalties, and interest under the laws of this state accrued against the person selling or transferring his or her business on the date of such sale or transfer, but only to the extent of the value of the property and business thereby acquired from such motor carrier.

(3) Nothing in this section shall be construed as releasing the motor carrier so transferring or discontinuing his or her business from liability for any taxes or for any interest or penalty due under the provisions of this chapter.

(4) Every motor carrier shall submit in writing to the department any change in address of his or her principal place of business within 10 days after such change becomes effective.

(1)(a) The department may establish informal conferences for the resolution of disputes arising from the assessment of taxes, penalties, or interest or the denial of refunds under chapter 120.

(b) During any proceeding arising under this section, the motor carrier has the right to be represented and to record all procedures at the motor carrier’s expense.

(2)(a) The executive director or his or her designee may enter into a closing agreement with a taxpayer settling or compromising the taxpayer’s liability for any tax, interest, or penalty assessed under this chapter. Each agreement must be in writing, in the form of a closing agreement approved by the department, and signed by the executive director or his or her designee. The agreement is final and conclusive, except upon a showing of material fraud or misrepresentation of material fact. The department may not make an additional assessment against the taxpayer for the tax, interest, or penalty specified in the closing agreement for the time specified in the closing agreement, and the taxpayer may not institute a judicial or administrative proceeding to recover any tax, interest, or penalty paid pursuant to the closing agreement. The executive director of the department or his or her designee may approve the closing agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), for the purpose of settling and compromising the liability of a taxpayer for any tax or interest on the grounds of doubt as to liability based on the taxpayer’s reasonable reliance on a written determination issued by the department, the department may compromise the amount of the tax or interest resulting from such reasonable reliance.

(3) A taxpayer’s liability for any tax or interest specified in this chapter may be compromised by the department upon the grounds of doubt as to liability for or the collectibility of such tax or interest. Doubt as to the liability of a taxpayer for tax and interest exists if the taxpayer demonstrates that he or she reasonably relied on a written determination of the department.

(4) A taxpayer’s liability for any tax or interest under this chapter shall be settled or compromised in whole or in part whenever or to the extent allowable under the Articles of Agreement of the International Fuel Tax Agreement.

(5) A taxpayer’s liability for penalties under this chapter may be settled or compromised if it is determined by the department that the noncompliance is due to reasonable cause and not willful negligence, willful neglect, or fraud.

(6) The department may enter into an agreement for scheduling payments of any tax, penalty, or interest owed to the department as a result of an audit assessment issued under this chapter.
