BMV Mailing Tax Refunds To Hoosiers

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Keep an eye out for any mail arriving from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

On Tuesday, the BMV announced it has begun sending out notifications to customers who are entitled to excise tax refunds dating back to 2004.

Those eligible for a refund should receive a claim form in the mail within the next 30 days.

The agency says 180,000 Hoosiers who registered vehicles with the BMV since 2004 are entitled to refunds. Current estimates indicate the BMV will issue about $29 million in refunds, plus interest.

BMV officials say some vehicles were misclassified and as a result those customers overpaid when registering their vehicles. The error was announced last month.
