Summary/Abstract: Tax, as public and legal performance, is non-refundable in its nature. In tax law, the institution of tax refund is applied, among others, as an instrument for introducing a tax preference. The purpose of the article is to present and analyse the institution of excise tax refund for tax included in the price of diesel fuel used for agricultural production in the light of domestic and EU solutions as a tax preference, as well as to establish the influence of the institution of excise tax refund over its fiscal efficiency. The analysis included legal acts, literature and empirical data concerning the refunded amounts of excise tax included in the price of diesel oil used for agricultural production, according to the calculations submitted by province governors in the years 2009–2014.
