Attention Motor Fuel and Diesel Distributors

A form must be uploaded for those customers who wish to submit their Motor Fuel Tax returns via myDMV. The links below provide access to the template and the instructions for filling it out. Customers have a choice of submitting either an XML or Excel version. The format you use will depend upon familiarity with the two technologies.
