Eligible Purchaser Application to Defer Payment to Licensed Supplier
P.A. 403 of 2000, as amended, allows an eligible purchaser to defer payment of the tax on motor fuel to licensed suppliers
until one business day before the motor fuel tax becomes due and payable to the state by the supplier. The supplier is
required to remit the tax on the 20th day of the month following the end of a reporting period. An eligible purchaser must
meet the following requirements to qualify for the election to defer payment:
1. An application to defer payment must be completed by the eligible purchaser and the supplier and forwarded to the
Michigan Department of Treasury for approval. The eligible purchaser must submit a separate application for each
supplier to whom they will be deferring payment of the tax.
2. Eligible purchasers must submit a financial statement with the application to defer payment. An applicant who does not
satisfy the Michigan Department of Treasury as to their financial responsibility will be required to secure a surety bond
or a cash deposit before a deferred plan will be approved. The maximum bond required cannot exceed three times the
estimated monthly tax liability.
3. The eligible purchaser’s payment of all taxes due to the supplier(s) shall be paid by electronic funds transfer on or before
one (1) business day prior to the due date of the tax return.
An Eligible Purchaser Application to Defer Payment must be reviewed and authorized by the Michigan Department
of Treasury. Upon official authorization, the deferred plan will take effect on the first day of the month following the
application approval.
At the election of the eligible purchaser, the licensed supplier must enter into a deferred payment plan; however, a
supplier may terminate this deferment plan if the eligible purchaser does not make timely payments to the supplier
as required by P.A. 403 of 2000, as amended. An eligible purchaser whose deferment plan is terminated by a
supplier and who has deferment plans with other suppliers will be immediately placed on a tax-paid basis with all
suppliers.
