Indiana Form BD-200 is used by an individual taxpayer to register for a special fuel tax exemption certificate when they personally produce the biodiesel portion of a special fuel blend that meets Indiana’s biodiesel personal production rules. If approved, the exemption certificate is valid for 5 years, and the individual must also file a report each year for the prior year by January 20.
Before You Start (Eligibility Checklist)
You generally qualify only if all of the following are true:
- You personally produce the biodiesel content of the special fuel.
- The fuel blend contains at least 20% biodiesel.
- The fuel is used only for personal, noncommercial purposes and is not for resale.
Also note the gallon limit rule: the maximum gallons you may claim under this exemption is calculated as 2,000 divided by the average biodiesel percentage (by volume) in each gallon you used.

- File your required annual report for the previous year by January 20 each year.
- Track how many gallons you’re claiming under the exemption using the form’s gallon limit rule (2,000 divided by your average biodiesel percentage).
If you want, tell me the average biodiesel percentage you typically use (for example, B20, B50, B99), and I’ll compute the maximum gallons you can claim under the exemption using the formula shown on the form.
