# §1027.125. Can I get a refund?

- (a) We will refund the total fee imposed under this part if you ask for a refund after failing to get a certificate for any reason.
- (b) If your actual sales or the actual retail prices in a given year are less than you projected for calculating a reduced fee under [§ 1027.120](/cfr/40/1027.120.md), we will refund the appropriate portion of the fee. We will also refund a portion of the initial payment if it exceeds the final fee for the engines, vehicles, or equipment covered by the certificate application.

    - (iii) **Identify the reduced fee that you paid under the applicable certificate.**
