The quarters shall end on March thirty-first, June thirtieth, September thirtieth, and December thirty-first of each year, and the report shall be mailed together with payment of the tax due by the twenty-fifth day of the month following the end of each quarter. Reporting forms shall be prescribed by the secretary of the Department of Revenue and shall show itemized quantities of special fuels purchased along with the fuels purchased and used in all other states and the miles traveled in each state, together with any other information requested by the secretary.
C. In computing the tax due, a supplier may make a deduction in the amount of three percent of the net taxable gallons after deducting approved refunds sold during the preceding calendar month as compensation for collecting and remitting the tax, and as an allowance for evaporation.
D. The license of a supplier, dealer, or user may be revoked by the secretary for violation of any of the provisions of this Part after a hearing as provided by R.S. 47:1544 through 1547. Should his license be revoked after such hearing, any supplier, dealer, or user may bring an action against the secretary in the district court of his domicile within fifteen days of the date of revocation to determine whether or not said supplier, dealer, or user has in fact violated any of the provisions of this Part. If the court determines that the provisions of the law have been violated by said supplier, dealer, or user, it shall maintain the secretary's action in revoking said license.
E. Special fuels, when sold, used, consumed, or otherwise acquired and measured in liters rather than gallons, shall be converted to gallons for tax reporting purposes by dividing the liters by the metric conversion factor of 3.7854, the accepted metric system equivalent of one U.S. gallon.
