That Section 63-3621, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby 52 amended to read as follows: 53 63-3621. IMPOSITION AND RATE OF THE USE TAX -- EXEMPTIONS. An excise tax 4 1 is hereby imposed on the storage, use, or other consumption in this state of 2 tangible personal property acquired on or after July 1, 1965, for storage, 3 use, or other consumption in this state at the rate of fiveper cent4percent (5%) of the value of the property, and a recent 5 sales price shall be presumptive evidence of the value of the property unless 6 the property is wireless telecommunications equipment, in which case a recent 7 sales price shall be conclusive evidence of the value of the property. 8 (a) Every person storing, using, or otherwise consuming, in this state, 9 tangible personal property is liable for the tax. His liability is not extin- 10 guished until the tax has been paid to this state except that a receipt from a 11 retailer maintaining a place of business in this state or engaged in business 12 in this state given to the purchaser is sufficient to relieve the purchaser 13 from further liability for the tax to which the receipt refers. A retailer 14 shall not be considered to have stored, used or consumed wireless telecommuni- 15 cations equipment by virtue of giving, selling or otherwise transferring such 16 equipment at a discount as an inducement to a consumer to commence or continue 17 a contract for telecommunications service. 18 (b) Every retailer engaged in business in this state, and making sales of 19 tangible personal property for the storage, use, or other consumption in this 20 state, not exempted under section 63-3622, Idaho Code, shall, at the time of 21 making the sales or, if storage, use or other consumption of the tangible per- 22 sonal property is not then taxable hereunder, at the time the storage, use or 23 other consumption becomes taxable, collect the tax from the purchaser and give 24 to the purchaser a receipt therefor in the manner and form prescribed by the 25 state tax commission. 26 (c) The provisions of this section shall not apply when the retailer pays 27 sales tax on the transaction and collects reimbursement for such sales tax 28 from the customer. 29 (d) Every retailer engaged in business in this state or maintaining a 30 place of business in this state shall register with the state tax commission 31 and give the name and address of all agents operating in this state, the loca- 32 tion of all distributions or sales houses or offices or other places of busi- 33 ness in this state, and such other information as the state tax commission may 34 require. 35 (e) For the purpose of the proper administration of this act and to pre- 36 vent evasion of the use tax and the duty to collect the use tax, it shall be 37 presumed that tangible personal property sold by any person for delivery in 38 this state is sold for storage, use, or other consumption in this state. The 39 burden of proving the sale is tax exempt is upon the person who makes the sale 40 unless he obtains from the purchaser a resale certificate to the effect that 41 the property is purchased for resale or rental. It shall be presumed that 42 sales made to a person who has completed a resale certificate for the seller's 43 records are not taxable and the seller need not collect sales or use taxes 44 unless the tangible personal property purchased is taxable to the purchaser as 45 a matter of law in the particular instance claimed on the resale certificate. 46 A seller may accept a resale certificate from a purchaser prior to the 47 time of sale, at the time of sale, or at any reasonable time after the sale 48 when necessary to establish the privilege of the exemption. The resale certif- 49 icate relieves the person selling the property from the burden of proof only 50 if taken from a person who is engaged in the business of selling or renting 51 tangible personal property and who holds the permit provided for by section 52 63-3620, Idaho Code, or who is a retailer not engaged in business in this 53 state, and who, at the time of purchasing the tangible personal property, 54 intends to sell or rent it in the regular course of business or is unable to 55 ascertain at the time of purchase whether the property will be sold or will be 5 1 used for some other purpose. Other than as provided elsewhere in this section, 2 when a resale certificate, properly executed, is presented to the seller, the 3 seller has no duty or obligation to collect sales or use taxes in regard to 4 any sales transaction so documented regardless of whether the purchaser prop- 5 erly or improperly claimed an exemption. A seller so relieved of the obliga- 6 tion to collect tax is also relieved of any liability to the purchaser for 7 failure to collect tax or for making any report or disclosure of information 8 required or permitted under this chapter. 9 The resale certificate shall bear the name and address of the purchaser, 10 shall be signed by the purchaser or his agent, shall indicate the number of 11 the permit issued to the purchaser, or that the purchaser is an out-of-state 12 retailer, and shall indicate the general character of the tangible personal 13 property sold by the purchaser in the regular course of business. The certifi- 14 cate shall be substantially in such form as the state tax commission may pre- 15 scribe. 16 (f) If a purchaser who gives a resale certificate makes any storage or 17 use of the property other than retention, demonstration or display while hold- 18 ing it for sale in the regular course of business, the storage or use is tax- 19 able as of the time the property is first so stored or used. 20 (g) Any person violating any provision of this section is guilty of a 21 misdemeanor and punishable by a fine not in excess of one hundred dollars 22 ($100), and each violation shall constitute a separate offense. 23 (h) It shall be presumed that tangible personal property shipped or 24 brought to this state by the purchaser was purchased from a retailer, for 25 storage, use or other consumption in this state. 26 (i) It shall be presumed that tangible personal property delivered out- 27 side this state to a purchaser known by the retailer to be a resident of this 28 state was purchased from a retailer for storage, use, or other consumption in 29 this state. This presumption may be controverted by evidence satisfactory to 30 the state tax commission that the property was not purchased for storage, use, 31 or other consumption in this state. 32 (j) When the tangible personal property subject to use tax has been sub- 33 jected to a general retail sales or use tax by another state of the United 34 States in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of the Idaho tax, and 35 evidence can be given of such payment, the property will not be subject to 36 Idaho use tax. If the amount paid the other state was less, the property will 37 be subject to use tax to the extent that the Idaho tax exceeds the tax paid to 38 the other state. For the purposes of this subsection, a registration certifi- 39 cate or title issued by another state or subdivision thereof for a vehicle or 40 trailer or a vessel as defined in section 67-7003, Idaho Code, shall be suffi- 41 cient evidence of payment of a general retail sales or use tax. 42 (k) The use tax herein imposed shall not apply to the use by a nonresi- 43 dent of this state of a motor vehicle which is registered or licensed under 44 the laws of the state of his residence and is not used in this state more than 45 a cumulative period of time totaling ninety (90) days in any consecutive 46 twelve (12) months, and which is not required to be registered or licensed 47 under the laws of this state ., or48 (l) The use tax herein imposed shall not apply to the use of 49 household goods,and personal effectsand pri-50vate automobilesby abona fideresident of this state, if 51 such articles were acquired by such person in another state while abona52fideresidentthereofof that state and pri- 53 marily for use outside this state and if such use was actual and substantial, 54 but if an article was acquired less than three (3) months prior to the time he 55 entered this state, it will be presumed that the article was acquired for use 6 1 in this state and that its use outside this state was not actual and substan- 2 tial. For purposes of this subsection, "resident" shall be as defined in 3 section 63-3013 or 63-3013A, Idaho Code. 4 (lm ) The use tax herein imposed shall not apply 5 to the storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property which 6 is or will be incorporated into real property and which has been donated to 7 and has become the property of: 8 (1) A nonprofit organization as defined in section 63-3622O, Idaho Code; 9 or 10 (2) The state of Idaho; or 11 (3) Any political subdivision of the state. 12 This exemption applies whether the tangible personal property is incorporated 13 in real property by the donee, a contractor or subcontractor of the donee, or 14 any other person. 15 SECTION 5. That Section 63-3622C, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby 16 amended to read as follows: 17 63-3622C. MOTOR FUELS SUBJECT TO TAX. There are exempted from the taxes 18 imposed by this chapter purchases which are subject to the motor fuels tax 19 imposed by chapter 24, title 63, Idaho Code, and purchases upon which motor 20 fuels taxes have actually been paid and the sale or use of any fuel which is 21 subsequently transported outside the state for use thereafter outside the 22 state. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to authorize the imposition 23 of a tax on fuel brought into this state in the fuel tanks of motor 24 vehicles or railroad locomotives in interstate commerce. 25 SECTION 6. That Section 63-3622D, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby 26 amended to read as follows: 27 63-3622D. PRODUCTION EXEMPTION.
