25    section 49-426, Idaho Code, or intended for off-road use only, including snow-
26    mobiles, boats and aircraft, and all-terrain vehicles and off-road motorcycles
27    when not used on public roads.

28        SECTION  2.  That  Section 63-3610, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
29    amended to read as follows:

30        63-3610.  RETAILER. The term "retailer" includes:
31        (a)  Every seller who makes any retail sale or sales of tangible  personal
32    property  and  every  person engaged in the business of making retail sales at
33    auction of tangible personal property owned by the person or others.
34        (b)  Every person engaged in the business of  making  sales  for  storage,
35    use,  or  other  consumption  or in the business of making sales at auction of
36    tangible personal property owned by the person or others for storage, use,  or
37    other consumption.
38        (c)  Every  person  making more than two (2) retail sales of tangible per-
39    sonal property during any twelve (12) month period, including  sales  made  in
40    the  capacity of assignee for the benefit of creditors, or receiver or trustee
41    in bankruptcy, or every person making fewer sales who  holds  himself  out  as


                                          2

 1    engaging  in the business of selling such tangible personal property at retail
 2    or who sells a  self-propelled  motor vehicle.
 3        (d)  When the state tax commission determines that it is necessary for the
 4    efficient administration of this act to regard any salesmen,  representatives,
 5    peddlers,  or  canvassers as agents of the dealers, distributors, supervisors,
 6    or employers under whom they operate or from whom  they  obtain  the  tangible
 7    personal property sold by them, irrespective  of whether they are making sales
 8    on  their  own behalf or on behalf of such dealers, distributors, supervisors,
 9    or employers, the state tax commission may so regard them and may  regard  the
10    dealers,  distributors, supervisors, or employers as retailers for the purpose
11    of this act.

13    persons  must  keep separate accounts for the retail portion of their business

16    amended to read as follows:

17        63-3613.  SALES  PRICE.  (a) The term "sales price" means the total amount
18    for which tangible personal property, including services agreed to be rendered
19    as a part of the sale, is sold, rented or leased,  valued  in  money,  whether
20    paid  in  money  or  otherwise, without any deduction on account of any of the
21    following:
22        1.  The cost of the property sold. However, in accordance with such  rules
23        as the state tax commission may prescribe, a deduction may be taken if the
24        retailer  has  purchased  property  for  some purpose other than resale or
25        rental, has reimbursed his vendor for tax which the vendor is required  to
26        pay to the state or has paid the use tax with respect to the property, and
27        has  resold or rented the property prior to making any use of the property
28        other than retention, demonstration or display while holding it  for  sale
29        in  the  regular  course  of business. If such a deduction is taken by the
30        retailer, no refund or credit will be allowed to his vendor  with  respect
31        to the sale of the property.
32        2.  The  cost  of  materials  used,  labor or service cost, losses, or any
33        other expense.
34        3.  The cost of transportation of the property prior to its sale.
35        4.  The face value of manufacturer's discount  coupons.  A  manufacturer's
36        discount  coupon  is a price reduction coupon presented by a consumer to a
37        retailer upon purchase of a manufacturer's  product,  the  face  value  of
38        which may only be reimbursed by the manufacturer to the retailer.
39        (b)  The term "sales price" does not include any of the following:
40        1.  Retailer  discounts allowed and taken on sales, but only to the extent
41        that such retailer discounts represent price  adjustments  as  opposed  to
42        cash discounts offered only as an inducement for prompt payment.
43        2.  Any  sums allowed on merchandise accepted in payment of other merchan-
44        dise, provided that this allowance shall not apply to the sale of  a  "new
45        manufactured home" or a "modular building" as defined herein.
46        3.  The  amount charged for property returned by customers when the amount
47        charged therefor is refunded either in cash or credit; but this  exclusion
48        shall  not apply in any instance when the customer, in order to obtain the
49        refund, is required to purchase other property at a price greater than the
50        amount charged for the property that is returned.
51        4.  The amount charged for labor or services  rendered  in  installing  or
52        applying the property sold, provided that said amount is stated separately
53        and  such separate statement is not used as a means of avoiding imposition


                                          3

 1        of this tax upon the actual sales price of the tangible personal property;
 2        except that charges by a manufactured homes dealer for set up of  a  manu-
 3        factured  home shall be included in the "sales price" of such manufactured
 4        home.
 5        5.  The amount of any tax (not including, however, any  manufacturers'  or
 6        importers'  excise  tax) imposed by the United States upon or with respect
 7        to retail sales whether imposed upon the retailer or the consumer.
 8        6.  The amount charged for  finance  charges,  carrying  charges,  service
 9        charges,  time-price  differential, or interest on deferred payment sales,
10        provided such charges are not used as a means of  avoiding  imposition  of
11        this tax upon the actual sales price of the tangible personal property.
12        7.  Delivery  and handling charges for transportation of tangible personal
13        property to the consumer, provided that the transportation is stated sepa-
14        rately and the separate statement is not used as a means of avoiding impo-
15        sition of the tax upon the actual sales price  of  the  tangible  personal
16        property; except that charges by a manufactured homes dealer for transpor-
17        tation  of  a  manufactured home shall be included in the "sales price" of
18        such manufactured home.
19        8.  Manufacturers' rebates when used at the time of a  retail  sale  as  a
20        down  payment on or reduction to the retail sales price of a motor vehicle
21        to which the rebate applies. A manufacturer's rebate  is  a  cash  payment
22        made  by  a  manufacturer to a consumer who has purchased or is purchasing
23        the manufacturer's product from the retailer.
24        9.  The amount of any fee imposed upon an outfitter as defined in  section
25        36-2102,  Idaho Code, by a governmental entity pursuant to statute for the
26        purpose of conducting outfitting activities on land or  water  subject  to
27        the  jurisdiction  of  the  governmental  entity, provided that the fee is
28        stated separately and is presented as a use fee paid by the outfitted pub-
29        lic to be passed through to the governmental entity.
30        10. The amount of any discount or other price reduction on  telecommunica-
31        tions  equipment when offered as an inducement to the consumer to commence
32        or continue telecommunications service, or the amount of any commission or
33        other indirect compensation received by a retailer or seller as  a  result
34        of the consumer commencing or continuing telecommunications service.
35        (c)  The  sales price of a "new manufactured home" or a "modular building"
36    as defined in this act shall be limited to and include only  fifty-five  
37    per  cent      percent  (55%) of the sales price as otherwise
38    defined herein.

40    axes  previously  paid  on  amounts  represented by accounts found to be
41    worthless  and actually charged off for income tax purposes  may be
42    credited upon a subsequent payment of the tax provided in this chapter or,  if
43    no such tax is due, refunded. If such accounts are thereafter collected, a tax
44    shall be paid upon the amount so collected.
45        (e)  Tangible  personal  property when sold at retail for more than eleven
46    cents ($.11) but less than one dollar and one cent ($1.01) through  a  vending
47    machine  shall  be  deemed  to have sold at a sales price equal to one hundred
48    seventeen  per cent   percent  (117%) of the price which
49    is paid for such tangible personal property and/or its component parts includ-
50    ing packaging by the owner or operator of the vending machines.

51        SECTION 4.  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  five    per  cent
 4        percent   (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 .  , or 
48         (l)  The use tax herein imposed shall not apply  to the use of
49    household goods ,   and  personal effects  and pri-

42             said  county  and  the  resulting percentages shall be applied to the
43             county's proportionate share  of  said  sales  tax  account  and  the
44             resulting  amount shall be distributed to each taxing district in the

                      STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                         R.S. 08415Cl

This bill makes technical corrections to the Idaho Sales
Tax Act. It adds a new section to define the term "motor
vehicle" as that term is used in the Sales Tax Act. Other
sections of the Act are amended as necessary to provide a
consistent definition through-out the Act.

The bill also amends:

Section 63-3613, Idaho Code, to strike an obsolete requirement
that the allowance for bad debts is limited to bad debts written
off for income tax purposes.

Section 63-36220, Idaho Code, to correct references within the
section.

                           FISCAL NOTE
