67-3-509. Tare allowance.

(a)  A supplier, permissive supplier or bonded importer is entitled to an allowance covering loss of gallonage by evaporation, handling, unloading, shrinkage, and losses resulting from unknown causes, and as reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the state in furnishing a bond, maintaining records, collecting taxes, and preparing reports and remittances in compliance with this part.

(b)  The allowance shall be an amount equivalent to one and five thousand four hundred fifteen ten thousandths percent (1.5415%) of the amount of tax imposed by §§ 67-3-201 and 67-3-202 shown to be due on the monthly report filed with the commissioner. The allowance may be taken as a credit on the monthly report.

(c)  There shall be submitted with the report, in support of the deduction, the certificate of the supplier or bonded importer that, with respect to the gallonage sold or distributed within this state, during the period covered by the report, there was paid or credited to each wholesaler to whom any part of the gallonage was sold or distributed, an amount equivalent to one and five thousand four hundred fifteen ten thousandths percent (1.5415%) of the taxes applicable to the gallonage; and to each retailer to whom any part of the gallonage was sold or distributed, an amount equivalent to one half of one percent (0.5%) of the taxes applicable to the gallonage. If a supplier has made a blanket election to pre-collect the tax under § 67-3-503 and remits the tax on behalf of a bonded importer, then the allowance shall be credited to the bonded importer. If it is determined that a supplier or bonded importer has not credited the proper allowance to another supplier or bonded importer or to the wholesaler or retailer, the tare allowance received by the supplier or importer shall be disallowed.

(d)  Any wholesaler who receives the allowance from a supplier or importer shall credit to the retailer an amount equivalent to one half of one percent (0.5%) of the taxes applicable to the gallonage. If it is determined that a wholesaler has not credited to the retailer the proper allowance, the allowance received by the wholesaler will be disallowed.

(e)  Any person required to pay the taxes shall preserve and make available for inspection by a representative of the department all invoices and credit memoranda reflecting payments or credits to purchasers of the amounts of the allowance provided by this section. These records shall be preserved for a period of not less than three (3) years from December 31 of the year in which issued.
