Forum Discussion
I spoke with a representative from the Arizona Motor Carriers Services Division this morning. He assured me that we are reading their law correctly.
1. If you are fueling a motor home that weighs 26,000 # GVW or more then you have to pay the higher tax.
2. If you are fueling a motor home that has more than two axles, you have to pay the higher tax.
3. If you are either one of the above, then you have to refuel at a pump that has the higher tax sticker on it. He said it's your responsibility to ensure the sticker on the pump shows the higher tax.
4. It does not matter that you are a recreational vehicle ONLY. You must pay the higher tax.
He was very knowledgeable and apologetic but firm in his discussion about what's exempt and what's not. It doesn't appear there's any grey area. He said it best, fill up outside Arizona or use the truck pumps....looks like another tax grab sticking it to the RVing community....Dennis
