VA Fuel Tax Refund??

I love this one. Turns out, if you buy gas for your boat, you can get a refund on the fuel tax for those gas purchases. Which makes sense since the boat isn't being used to drive on any roads.

However, who the frack has time to itemize all their boat gas receipts and submit them the DMV??? Another clear example of VERY, VERY poorly written legislation that isn't really meant to benefit the boat owner, but instead burden them.

BTW, $0.175 per gallon tax in VA on gas. For those of you that don't have Excel, that's a 7.44% tax. Just add that to your total tax rate!
