The claim must be filed not later than the end of the third month following the end of the calendar quarter the compressed natural gas qualified for a special fuel tax refund under subsection (a). No interest may be paid on a refund made under this section.

     (c) A refund claim must be in the form prescribed by the department and include any information reasonably requested by the department.

     (d) The department may make any investigations it considers necessary before refunding the tax to a person.
