PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich says a court ruling in favor of the state will stand in a case that could have resulted in large requests for tax refunds.
Brnovich said that an oil company didn't appeal a January court ruling in a case involving the taxation of dyed diesel fuel used by a quarry for trucks and machinery not used on state roads.
The Court of Appeals' January decision overturned a lower court's ruling that if left intact could have triggered refund requests.
Carter Oil sought less than $12,000 in refunds.
But lawyers for the state said potential refund requests from the mining industry as a whole could have totaled over $100 million.
Wednesday was the deadline to appeal.
