Wisconsin Incentives and Laws for Exemptions
The list below contains summaries of all Wisconsin incentives and laws related to Exemptions.
State Incentives
Renewable Fuel Producer Excise Tax and Inspection Exemption
The first 1,000 gallons of renewable fuel an individual produces each year are exempt from the motor vehicle fuel excise tax, the petroleum inspection fee, and any petroleum inspection requirements not required under federal law. These exemptions only apply if the fuel is used in the individual's personal vehicle and is not sold. An individual may also produce renewable fuel for personal use without a business tax registration certificate or a motor vehicle fuel tax license. (Reference Wisconsin Statutes 78.01(2n) and 168.05(6))
Alternative Fuel Tax Exemption
No county, city, village, town, or other political subdivision is allowed to levy or collect any excise, license, privilege, or occupational tax on motor vehicle fuel or alternative fuels, or on the purchase, sale, handling, or consumption of motor vehicle fuel or alternative fuels. (Reference Wisconsin Statutes 78.82)
Idle Reduction Weight Exemption
Any vehicle or combination of vehicles equipped with fully functional idle reduction technology may exceed the state's gross and axle weight limits by up to 400 pounds (lbs) to compensate for the additional weight of the idle reduction technology. To be eligible for the weight exemption, the vehicle operator must be able to prove, by written certification, the weight of the idle reduction technology and, by demonstration or certification, that the idle reduction technology is fully functional at all times. The weight exemption cannot exceed 400 lbs or the certified weight of the unit, whichever is less. (Reference Wisconsin Statutes 348.15(3)(f))
