§ 17-17-423. Imposition, administration, collection, enforcement and disposition of waste tire fee.
(1) There is imposed a waste tire fee upon the sale of each new tire sold at wholesale. The fee shall be imposed on any person engaging in the business of making wholesale sales of new tires within this state. The fee shall be imposed at the rate of One Dollar ($1.00) for each new tire sold with a rim diameter of less than twenty-four (24) inches and Two Dollars ($2.00) for each new tire sold with a rim diameter of twenty-four (24) inches or greater. The fee shall be added to the total cost to the purchaser at wholesale; however, a person engaged in the business of making retail sales of tires in this state who purchases tires from a wholesaler or manufacturer outside this state upon which the waste tire fee is not imposed, shall be responsible for remitting the waste tire fee directly to the State Tax Commission in lieu of payment of the tax to the wholesaler or manufacturer. The fee imposed, less five percent (5%) of fees collected, which shall be retained by the tire wholesaler or retailer as collection costs, shall be paid to the State Tax Commission in the form and manner required by the State Tax Commission and shall include a statement showing the total number of new tires sold during the preceding month. The State Tax Commission shall promulgate rules and regulations necessary to administer the fee collection and enforcement.
(2) The State Tax Commission shall administer, collect and enforce the fee authorized under this section under the same procedures used in the administration, collection and enforcement of the state sales tax imposed under Chapter 65, Title 27, Mississippi Code of 1972, except as provided in this section. The proceeds of the waste tire fee, less five percent (5%) of the proceeds, which shall be retained by the State Tax Commission as collection costs, shall be transferred by the State Tax Commission into the waste tire account of the Environmental Protection Trust Fund.
