Now that the Idaho Supreme Court has struck down taxation of fuel on reservations, three tribes are seeking a refund of as much as $8 million from the state.

The Nez Perce Tribe, the Coeur d'Alene Tribe and the Shoshone-Bannock Tribe are most affected by the recent decision. The state had taxed gas stations on their reservations but the court ruled the taxes were unlawful.

The state could appeal the case to the US Supreme Court. The state has 90 days to make a decision.
