Instructions for MN Fuel Schedule Update

There is an additional update to the MN Fuel Schedules program that needs to be in place prior to filing your July return.  This update is only required if you deal with one of more or the following:

1. E-85 products.  There is a rounding error in the E-85 rate reduction credit that this update resolves.
2. Qualifying Service Station credit.  The rate of this credit has changed and will change with each tax rate change.  This update will add fields to the MN Schedule Configure screen which need to be filled in with the appropriate rates provided by the state of MN.

If neither of the above apply to your business then you do not need to do this update.
