Prime Inc. Sues IRS for $11 Million Over Fuel Tax on Reefer Diesel
Prime Inc., a major refrigerated freight carrier based in Missouri, is suing the IRS to recover over $11 million paid as federal fuel excise tax between 2018 and 2021. The company argues that diesel used solely for powering reefer units should be considered off-highway use and thus eligible for a refundable credit.
