Compressed Fuel Retailer. A compressed fuel retailer is any person who sells compressed fuel (for example,
propane and natural gas) and has equipment capable of dispensing compressed fuel into motor vehicles. These
persons must obtain a Nebraska Compressed Fuel Retailer License. If there is more than one location, all
locations must be indicated on the application. Only one license will be issued regardless of the number of
locations from which compressed fuel is sold. Compressed fuel retailer licensees must maintain a surety bond
for the first year of the new license. A completed
Form 70
must be mailed with this application.
Motor Fuels Retailer. A motor fuels retailer is an operator of locations where retail sales of motor fuels and
aircraft fuels are made to end users. All motor fuels retailers must obtain a Nebraska Retailer License for each
location. If there is more than one location, all locations must be indicated on the application.
Tank wagon operators conducting retail sales of motor vehicle fuels, aircraft fuels, or diesel fuels without a
permanent retail location in Nebraska must also be licensed as a motor fuels retailer.
To license additional retail locations, complete blocks 1 through 4 and 21 on Form 20MF. Please include any
other information that has changed.
Retailers of tax-paid motor vehicle fuels, diesel fuels, and aircraft fuels must be licensed, but are not required
to file monthly reports. Records are subject to review or audit. Please refer to the
“Nebraska Motor Fuels
Retailers and Compressed Fuel Retailers Information
Guide” for details.
Motor Fuels Use Tax. Motor Fuels Use Tax is due on untaxed fuel used in licensed motor vehicles, including
the following:
v Dyed diesel used by Nebraska governmental entities in licensed motor vehicles;
v Blending agents added to taxable fuel by motor fuels retailers or consumers;
v Compressed fuel, such as compressed natural gas, used in a licensed motor vehicle on which the
vendor did not collect the Nebraska fuel tax; and
