Attention LTBB Tribal Citizens who purchase DIESEL fuel at Biindigen: Per the LTBB/State of Michigan Tax Agreement, the Tribe has a quota of tax-exempt diesel gallons we may sell in a calendar year. We will reach our 2023 quota by the end of November and will therefore need to shut off the tax exemption for DIESEL ONLY for the remainder of the year once our quota is reached. Another notice will go out once the exemption is officially turned off. Diesel may still be purchased at Biindigen; however, it will not have the tax exemption applied. The tax exemption will be available again starting January 1st, 2024 as our annual quota will renew. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the LTBB Department of Commerce at 231-242-1584 or DOC@ltbbodawa-nsn.gov. Miigwech.
