Virginia Biodiesel and Green Fuel Producers
BFC
Tax Credit Form Instructions
Purpose of Form BFC
Beginning on January 1, 2008, a credit is available for Virginia biodiesel and green diesel fuel producers who
produce up to two million gallons of fuel per year. This credit is only available during the first three years of
production. Corporate and individual taxpayers may claim a nonrefundable credit against their tax liability for
the production of these fuels.
Form BFC is used to make a claim to the Virginia Department of Taxation for a Biodiesel and Green Diesel Fuel
Producers Tax Credit after the Department of Mines, Minerals, and Energy has certified that you have satisfied
all the requirements of Va. Code §58.1-439.12:02.
The amount of the credit is $0.01 per gallon, not to exceed $5,000 annually. Any credit not used for the taxable
year may be carried over to the next three taxable years. The amount of the credit allowed cannot exceed the
tax liability for the tax year the credit is being claimed.
The amount of the credit attributable to a partnership, electing small business corporation (S corporation), or
limited liability company must be allocated to the individual partners, shareholders, or members in proportion
to their ownership or interest within the business entity using Form PTE.
The credit may be transferred to another taxpayer. The transfer of the credit must be completed before the end
of a tax year in order to use the credit for that tax year.
