BC Fuel Tax Refund for Persons with Disabilities
BC Fuel Tax Refund
If you have a qualifying disability, the BC fuel tax refund program lets you claim back part of the provincial motor fuel tax you paid on gasoline used in a vehicle you own or lease. You can receive a refund of up to $500 each calendar year, helping offset the higher transportation costs faced by people who rely on a personal vehicle.
Conseils utiles pour la demande
Keep your fuel receipts throughout the year so you can claim the full amount up to the $500 annual cap. If you also qualify for the federal excise gasoline tax refund, you can claim both programs. Contact the program to confirm the disability documentation they accept before you apply.
Qui peut être admissible
You may qualify if you are 16 or older, live in BC, own or lease a vehicle (or have an ownership interest in one), and have a qualifying disability. If you are not the registered owner, you must provide additional documentation as required.
Documents requis
Proof of your qualifying disability (such as a PWD designation or supporting medical documentation), vehicle registration or lease documents showing you own or lease the vehicle, and records of gasoline purchases.
Comment présenter une demande
Register for the program and submit refund claims as directed on the BC government fuel tax refund page, with proof of your disability eligibility and records of the fuel tax you paid.
Erreurs courantes à éviter
A common mistake is not keeping fuel purchase receipts, which are needed to support the refund. Another is assuming any disability qualifies — the program requires a qualifying disability as defined by the province. People also miss that this is separate from the federal excise gasoline tax refund, so you may be able to claim both.
