If you sell dyed diesel fuel, be aware that the State diesel fuel representatives are checking that all Mass. marinas and boatyards are filing Form SFT-3 monthly. Even though you sell dyed diesel fuel only for pleasure use, which is not taxable, you are still required to file a zero dollar report monthly.

Any questions call the State Supervisor, Allan Ferullo, or his assistant Ruth at the Department of Revenue, Special Tax division, (617-887-5040). Apparently this is an old tax law, recently revived by the DOR. Our thanks to the Cape Cod Marine Trades Association for the information!
