Amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow for payments to certain individuals who dye fuel, and for other purposes.

Summary

Creates a new refundable federal payment to reimburse the section 4081 excise tax for certain indelibly dyed diesel fuel or kerosene removed from a terminal when that fuel is tax-exempt under section 4082(a). The Treasury must pay an amount equal to the tax previously paid (without interest) after satisfactory proof; excessive claims are subject to civil penalties. The rule applies to eligible fuel removed on or after 180 days after enactment.

• Creates IRC section 6434 to provide refundable payments equal to the 4081 excise tax for certain indelibly dyed diesel fuel or kerosene.
• Refunds are payable without interest after submission of satisfactory proof that the fuel is tax-exempt under IRC 4082(a).
• Applies only to eligible fuel removed from a terminal on or after 180 days after enactment.
• Conforming amendments add the new section into existing tax-code cross-references and the subchapter table.
• Excessive or improper claims are subject to civil penalties under existing penalty provisions (cross-reference to IRC 6675).
• Does not alter the basic tax rules in sections 4081 or 4082 — it creates an administrative refund mechanism.
• Affects entities involved in terminal removal, sale, or use of dyed diesel/kerosene who previously paid the section 4081 tax.
• No interest is paid on refunded amounts.
• Likely reduces net excise-tax receipts to the extent refunds are claimed.
