Most of the money that states raise from fuel taxes goes to repair road damage caused by vehicle damage.<\/p>\n<p>Your boat takes gasoline, but chances are you drive your boat on water, not asphalt (we hope). Thankfully, many states recognize this distinction and offer recreational boaters a full or partial refund on the fuel taxes they pay each year. After all, it&#8217;s not fair for a boater to pay a tax designed to pay for road damage caused by automobiles. States that offer marine tax refunds include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Alaska<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">California<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Connecticut<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Delaware<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Massachusetts<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Missouri<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Nebraska<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">North Carolina<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Texas<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Virginia<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Washington<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Wyoming<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you live in one of these states and you want instructions about how to apply for a marine fuel tax refund, visit: \/\/www.americanboating.org\/fueltax.asp. States that do NOT offer a marine fuel tax refund usually put the tax revenues from marine fuel taxes into various boating programs through the Aquatic Resources Trust Fund.<\/p>\n<p> <h2>Fuel Taxes By State<\/h2><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the fuel tax in your state?
