> To those departments using the Voyager Fleet Card Systems credit card for
> gasoline purchases on university vehicles, we have received a letter
> concerning the tax exemption of federal excise taxes on these gasoline
> purchases.
>
> Most independent retail locations are unable to process Federal excise tax
> exemptions and Voyager has been billing us net of any Federal excise tax.
> There is an IRS ruling that is bringing into question whether this
> practice is appropriate.   Voyager is pursing various avenues with various
> agencies to continue the practice of exempting excise taxes from our bill.
>
> While most of the oil companies have chosen to delay action until the
> outcome is clearer, Chevron is taking a more conservative outlook and has
> chosen to block the deduction of Federal excise taxes as of April 16,
> 2001.  This will result in Voyager filing an electronic refund claim 45
> days after the end of a quarter if the total purchases exceed $ 750.00.
> If purchases do not exceed $ 750.00 in a quarter, Voyager will not file a
> refund claim until purchases exceed $ 750.00 for combined future quarters
> or fiscal year end.
>
> In talks with Voyager, they have stated most of their customers are
> recommending to their cardholders to not purchase from Chevron.   While we
> cannot say do not use Chevron, we are discouraging the use of this
> retailer.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us
> concerning this issue.
