The D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue acknowledged that it erred last month in ordering gasoline wholesalers to begin implementing a new wholesale price of gasoline to replace the current per-gallon tax on Oct. 1, overcharging them as much as $95,000 during the first week of the month because of a calculation mistake, reports The Washington Post.
In instructions issued to the wholesalers, the tax office said that they should refund the amount overcharged to service stations and ask the service stations to refund it to motorists, reports Aaron Davis of The Post.
