How and when do I get the fuels tax credit?

"In Oregon, fuel-powered vehicles are subject to a 40-cent-per-gallon fuels tax, which is automatically included at the pump.

When calculating your road usage charges, we automatically subtract the amount of fuels tax you've already paid—based on your vehicle’s miles-per-gallon—until reaching a zero-dollar balance. (Note: By law, fuels tax credits cannot exceed the total road usage charges.)

You can view a detailed breakdown of these calculations in your NextPass Miles account.

Will I have to pay both the per-mile charge and the fuel tax?

No, you won’t be charged twice. You only pay for the miles you drive, minus the total fuel tax paid.

What happens if I drive out of state?

Miles driven outside the state are exempt from the road usage charge but are subject to fuel tax.

Participants using a GPS reporting option will not pay for miles driven out of Oregon since these are automatically recongized and removed fro your invoice.

Drivers not using a GPS mileage reporting solution should submit an annual refund request directly to ODOT at MyOReGO@odot.state.or.us no later than January 15th of the follwing year (or within 15 months of the payment date).
