Tax Exemption Procedures

Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores, Inc., and its affiliates that operate retail travel stop locations (“Love’s”), collects and remits sales taxes for all taxable fuel, merchandise, services and other items per applicable law.  As allowable by law, Love’s customers may submit to Love’s a valid and properly completed "Certificate of Exemption" and/or other authorized documentation to have qualified tax exemptions apply to purchases at Love’s.

We respectfully request all tax exempt documents are provided at or before the time of service or purchase. Please submit your tax exempt documents to taxresearch@loves.com as soon as possible to ensure proper processing.

If you are tax exempt and believe you have paid tax in error, you may request Love’s assistance in seeking a refund of such tax from the applicable state.

Love’s will provide reasonable assistance upon the following terms and conditions:

  1. A customer must file its exemption claim (an “Exemption Claim”) with Love’s within 90 days after the customer’s subject purchase.   An Exemption Claim must include a written statement describing customer’s basis for its claim with supporting documentation, which must include a copy of (i) Customer’s Certificate of Exemption, (ii) applicable receipts of purchases which are the subject of such Exemption Claim, and (iii) any additional information and/or documentation requested by Love’s.  Please click here to print off and complete an Exemption Claim.  Once completed, Exemption Claims, along with supporting documentation, must be submitted to Love’s by email at the following email address: taxresearch@loves.com or by facsimile transmission at 405-463-3548.
  2. To the extent necessary under the applicable state law for a customer to seek a tax exemption reimbursement, Love’s will either (a) consent to an Assignment of Right allowing the customer to request a sales tax refund directly from the applicable taxing authority  or (b) amend its applicable state return or file a request for a refund one time at the end of each year to take into account all Exemption Claims made by Love’s customers for the year in which such amendment relates.  To the extent that Love’s must amend its applicable state return or file a request for a refund to enable a customer to seek a tax exemption reimbursement, (i) Love’s will amend such return or file such request for a refund 90 days after the close of the calendar quarter in which Love’s receives and accepts an Exemption Claim, and (ii) for Customer Exemption Claims at or below $5.00, Customer will receive such Exemption Claim funds from a Love's retail travel stop location designated by Customer, upon the terms and conditions of this Tax Exemption Procedure.
  3. To the extent Love’s receives a refund from the applicable state to which an Exemption Claim relates and as allowable under the applicable law, Love’s shall pay to a customer such portion of the refund attributable to a customer’s Exemption Claim within sixty (60) days of Love’s receipt of such refund.  Love’s shall have no obligation to pay to any customer any portion of an Exemption Claim until such time that Love’s actually receives a refund to which an Exemption Claim relates, except when required by law.
  4. An administrative fee may be charged by Love’s for processing each Exemption Claim.  Please contact taxresearch@loves.com for more information.  Additionally, Customer agrees to reimburse Love’s for any fees or expense it incurs in responding to or facilitating an Exemption Claim.

Love’s makes no representations or warranties as to the likelihood of success of a specific Exemption Claim, nor as to the exempt status of any particular customer.  For a list of tax exemptions, you should visit the applicable state taxing authority websites and call the taxing authority with any questions.  Love’s may amend these Tax Exemption Procedures from time to time without specific notice to you.
