 42        total credit allowed, the taxpayer shall be paid a  refund  equal  to  the
 43        balance  of  the unused credit. If the credit or refund is not claimed for

  2        thereafter  to  claim  such credit or refund shall be forfeited. The state

  6        not  required  by  law  to  file  an  Idaho  income tax return and who has
  7        received no credit or refund under any other subsection of  this  section,
  8        shall  be  entitled  to a refund of thirty one hundred dollars ($3100.00).
  9        Any refund shall be paid to such individual only upon his making  applica-
 10        tion  therefor at such time and in such manner as may be prescribed by the
 11        state tax commission.
 12        (c)  A resident individual of the state of Idaho who is:

 29    part of the year in which he was domiciled in this state.

 32    for his own personal exemption, and in no event shall more than one  (1)  tax-
 33    payer be allowed a credit or refund for the same exemption, or under more than

 39    visions  of  this  section  must be filed with the state tax commission within
 40    three (3) years of:
 41        (i)  the due date, including extensions, of the return required under sec-
 42        tion 63-3030, Idaho Code, if the applicant is required to file  a  return,
 43        or
 44        (ii) the  15th  day  of  April of the year following the year to which the

 46        SECTION 2.  That Section 63-3024A, Idaho Code, be, and the same is  hereby
 47    repealed.
                                                                        
 48        SECTION  3.  That Section 63-3029F, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
 49    amended to read as follows:
                                                                        
 50        63-3029F.  SPECIAL CREDIT AVAILABLE -- NEW  EMPLOYEES.  (1)  Any  taxpayer
 51    shall  be  allowed  a  credit, in an amount determined under subsection (2) of
 52    this section, against the tax imposed by this  chapter,  other  than  the  tax
                                                                        
                                           3
                                                                        
  1    imposed  by section 63-3082, Idaho Code, for any taxable year during which the
  2    taxpayer's employment of new employees, as defined under section  63-3029E(1),
  3    Idaho  Code, increases above the taxpayer's average employment for either: (a)
  4    the prior taxable year, or (b) the average of three (3) prior  taxable  years,
  5    whichever  is higher. No credit shall be allowed under this section unless the
  6    number of new employees equals or exceeds one (1) person.
  7        (2)  The credit authorized in subsection (1) of this section shall be five
  8    hundred dollars ($500) per new employee, but the total  credit  allowed  shall
  9    not  exceed  three  and  one-quarter  percent  (3.25%)  of net income from the
 10    taxpayer's corporate, proprietorship, partnership, small business  corporation
 11    or limited liability company revenue-producing enterprise in which the employ-
 12    ment  occurred.  Additionally, the total of this and all other credits allowed
 13    under this chapter except for the credits  allowed  under  sections  63-3024A,
 14    63-3025D  and  63-3029,  Idaho  Code,  taken during any taxable year shall not
 15    exceed forty-five percent (45%) of the tax otherwise imposed on  the  taxpayer
 16    for the taxable year for which such credit is allowed.
 17        (3)  If  the  sum of the credit carryovers from the credit allowed by sub-
 18    section (2) of this section and the amount of credit for the taxable year from
 19    the credit allowed by subsection (2) of this  section  exceed  the  limitation
 20    imposed  by  subsection  (2) of this section for the current taxable year, the
 21    excess attributable to the current taxable year's credit  shall  be  a  credit
 22    carryover  to  the  three  (3)  succeeding taxable years. The entire amount of
 23    unused credit shall be carried forward  to  the  earliest  of  the  succeeding
 24    years, wherein the oldest available unused credit shall be used first, so long
 25    as the employment level for which the credit was granted is still maintained.
                                                                        
 26        SECTION  4.  That  Section 63-3619, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
 27    amended to read as follows:
                                                                        
 28        63-3619.  IMPOSITION AND RATE OF THE SALES TAX. An excise  tax  is  hereby
 29    imposed  upon each sale at retail at the rate of five per cent percent (5%) of
 30    the sales price of all retail sales subject to taxation under this chapter and
 31    such amount with the exception of food sold for human consumption which  shall
 32    be  exempt  from sales taxation. The types and kinds of food products eligible
 33    for sales tax exemption shall be the same types and  kinds  of  food  products
 34    that  are  eligible  for  purchases made with coupons issued under the federal
 35    food stamp act of 1977 and the food security act of 1985 and  do  not  include
 36    restaurant sales of food. The excise tax as set forth herein shall be computed
 37    monthly on all sales at retail within the preceding month.
 38        (a)  The tax shall apply to, be computed on, and collected for all credit,
 39    instalment  installment,  conditional or similar sales at the time of the sale
 40    or, in the case of rentals, at the time the rental is charged.
 41        (b)  The tax hereby imposed shall be collected by the  retailer  from  the
 42    consumer.
 43        (c)  The  state  tax  commission shall provide schedules for collection of
 44    the tax on sales which involve a fraction of a dollar. The retailer shall cal-
 45    culate the tax upon the entire amount of the purchases of the consumer made at
 46    a particular time and not separately upon each item  purchased.  The  retailer
 47    may  retain  any amount collected under the bracket system prescribed which is
 48    in excess of the amount of tax for which he is liable to the state during  the
 49    period as compensation for the work of collecting the tax.
 50        (d)  It  is unlawful for any retailer to advertise or hold out or state to
 51    the public or to any customer, directly or indirectly, that  the  tax  or  any
 52    part  thereof  will be assumed or absorbed by the retailer or that it will not
 53    be added to the selling price of the property sold or that if added it or  any
                                                                        
                                           4
                                                                        
  1    part thereof will be refunded. Any person violating any provision of this sec-
  2    tion is guilty of a misdemeanor.
  3        (e)  The  tax  commission may by rule provide that the amount collected by
  4    the retailer from the customer in reimbursement of the tax be displayed  sepa-
  5    rately  from  the list price, the price advertised on the premises, the marked
  6    price, or other price on the sales slip or other proof of sale.
  7        (f)  The taxes imposed by this chapter shall apply to the  sales  to  con-
  8    tractors  purchasing  for  use in the performance of contracts with the United
  9    States.
                                                                        
 10        SECTION 5.  That Section 63-3621, Idaho Code, be, and the same  is  hereby
 11    amended to read as follows:
                                                                        
 12        63-3621.  IMPOSITION  AND RATE OF THE USE TAX -- EXEMPTIONS. An excise tax
 13    is hereby imposed on the storage, use, or other consumption in this  state  of
 14    tangible  personal  property  acquired  on or after July 1, 1965, for storage,
 15    use, or other consumption in this state at the rate of five  percent  (5%)  of
 16    the  value of the property, and with the exception of food sold for human con-
 17    sumption which shall be exempt from use taxation. The types and kinds of  food
 18    products  eligible  for use tax exemption shall be the same types and kinds of
 19    food products that are eligible for purchases made with coupons  issued  under
 20    the  federal  food  stamp act of 1977 and the food security act of 1985 and do
 21    not include restaurant sales of food. Aa recent sales price shall be  presump-
 22    tive  evidence  of  the  value of the property unless the property is wireless
 23    telecommunications equipment, in which case a recent sales price shall be con-
 24    clusive evidence of the value of the property.
 25        (a)  Every person storing, using, or otherwise consuming, in  this  state,
 26    tangible  personal property is liable for the tax. His liability is not extin-
 27    guished until the tax has been paid to this state except that a receipt from a
 28    retailer maintaining a place of business in this state or engaged in  business
 29    in  this  state  given to the purchaser is sufficient to relieve the purchaser
 30    from further liability for the tax to which the  receipt  refers.  A  retailer
 31    shall not be considered to have stored, used or consumed wireless telecommuni-
 32    cations  equipment by virtue of giving, selling or otherwise transferring such
 33    equipment at a discount as an inducement to a consumer to commence or continue
 34    a contract for telecommunications service.
 35        (b)  Every retailer engaged in business in this state, and making sales of
 36    tangible personal property for the storage, use, or other consumption in  this
 37    state,  not  exempted under section 63-3622, Idaho Code, shall, at the time of
 38    making the sales or, if storage, use, or other  consumption  of  the  tangible
 39    personal  property is not then taxable hereunder, at the time the storage, use
 40    or other consumption becomes taxable, collect the tax from the  purchaser  and
 41    give  to the purchaser a receipt therefor in the manner and form prescribed by
 42    the state tax commission.
 43        (c)  The provisions of this section shall not apply when the retailer pays
 44    sales tax on the transaction and collects reimbursement  for  such  sales  tax
 45    from the customer.
 46        (d)  Every  retailer  engaged  in  business in this state or maintaining a
 47    place of business in this state shall register with the state  tax  commission
 48    and give the name and address of all agents operating in this state, the loca-
 49    tion  of all distributions or sales houses or offices or other places of busi-
 50    ness in this state, and such other information as the state tax commission may
 51    require.
 52        (e)  For the purpose of the proper administration of this act and to  pre-
 53    vent  evasion  of the use tax and the duty to collect the use tax, it shall be
                                                                        
                                           5
                                                                        
  1    presumed that tangible personal property sold by any person  for  delivery  in
  2    this  state  is sold for storage, use, or other consumption in this state. The
  3    burden of proving the sale is tax exempt is upon the person who makes the sale
  4    unless he obtains from the purchaser a resale certificate to the  effect  that
  5    the  property  is  purchased  for  resale or rental. It shall be presumed that
  6    sales made to a person who  has    completed  a  resale  certificate  for  the
  7    seller's  records are not taxable and the seller need not collect sales or use
  8    taxes unless the tangible personal property purchased is taxable to  the  pur-
  9    chaser  as  a  matter  of law in the particular instance claimed on the resale
 10    certificate.
 11        A seller may accept a resale certificate from a  purchaser  prior  to  the
 12    time  of  sale,  at the time of sale, or at any reasonable time after the sale
 13    when necessary to establish the privilege of the exemption. The resale certif-
 14    icate relieves the person selling the property from the burden of  proof  only
 15    if  taken  from  a person who is engaged in the business of selling or renting
 16    tangible personal property and who holds the permit provided  for  by  section
 17    63-3620,  Idaho  Code,  or  who  is a retailer not engaged in business in this
 18    state, and who, at the time of  purchasing  the  tangible  personal  property,
 19    intends  to  sell or rent it in the regular course of business or is unable to
 20    ascertain at the time of purchase whether the property will be sold or will be
 21    used for some other purpose. Other than as provided elsewhere in this section,
 22    when a resale certificate, properly executed, is presented to the seller,  the
 23    seller  has  no  duty or obligation to collect sales or use taxes in regard to
 24    any sales transaction so documented regardless of whether the purchaser  prop-
 25    erly  or  improperly claimed an exemption. A seller so relieved of the obliga-
 26    tion to collect tax is also relieved of any liability  to  the  purchaser  for
 27    failure  to  collect tax or for making any report or disclosure of information
 28    required or permitted under this chapter.
 29        The resale certificate shall bear the name and address of  the  purchaser,
 30    shall  be  signed  by the purchaser or his agent, shall indicate the number of
 31    the permit issued to the purchaser, or that the purchaser is  an  out-of-state
 32    retailer,  and  shall  indicate the general character of the tangible personal
 33    property sold by the purchaser in the regular course of business. The certifi-
 34    cate shall be substantially in such form as the state tax commission may  pre-
 35    scribe.
 36        (f)  If  a  purchaser  who gives a resale certificate makes any storage or
 37    use of the property other than retention, demonstration or display while hold-
 38    ing it for sale in the regular course of business, the storage or use is  tax-
 39    able as of the time the property is first so stored or used.
 40        (g)  Any  person  violating  any  provision of this section is guilty of a
 41    misdemeanor and punishable by a fine not in  excess  of  one  hundred  dollars
 42    ($100), and each violation shall constitute a separate offense.
 43        (h)  It  shall  be  presumed  that  tangible  personal property shipped or
 44    brought to this state by the purchaser was  purchased  from  a  retailer,  for
 45    storage, use or other consumption in this state.
 46        (i)  It  shall  be presumed that tangible personal property delivered out-
 47    side this state to a purchaser known by the retailer to be a resident of  this
 48    state  was purchased from a retailer for storage, use, or other consumption in
 49    this state. This presumption may be controverted by evidence  satisfactory  to
 50    the state tax commission that the property was not purchased for storage, use,
 51    or other consumption in this state.
 52        (j)  When  the tangible personal property subject to use tax has been sub-
 53    jected to a general retail sales or use tax by another  state  of  the  United
 54    States  in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of the Idaho tax, and
 55    evidence can be given of such payment, the property will  not  be  subject  to
                                                                        
                                           6
                                                                        
  1    Idaho  use tax. If the amount paid the other state was less, the property will
  2    be subject to use tax to the extent that the Idaho tax exceeds the tax paid to
  3    the other state. For the purposes of this subsection, a registration  certifi-
  4    cate  or title issued by another state or subdivision thereof for a vehicle or
  5    trailer or a vessel as defined in section 67-7003, Idaho Code, shall be suffi-
  6    cient evidence of payment of a general retail sales or use tax.
  7        (k)  The use tax herein imposed shall not apply to the use by  a  nonresi-
  8    dent    of this state of a motor vehicle which is registered or licensed under
  9    the laws of the state of his residence and is not used in this state more than
 10    a cumulative period of time totaling  ninety  (90)  days  in  any  consecutive
 11    twelve  (12)  months,  and  which is not required to be registered or licensed
 12    under the laws of this state.
 13        (l)  The use tax herein imposed shall not apply to the  use  of  household
 14    goods  and personal effects by a resident of this state, if such articles were
 15    acquired by such person in another state while a resident of  that  state  and
 16    primarily  for  use outside this state and if such use was actual and substan-
 17    tial, but if an article was acquired less than three (3) months prior  to  the
 18    time  he entered this state, it will be presumed that the article was acquired
 19    for use in this state and that its use outside this state was not  actual  and
 20    substantial.  For  purposes of this subsection, "resident" shall be as defined
 21    in section 63-3013 or 63-3013A, Idaho Code.
 22        (m)  The use tax herein imposed shall not apply to  the  storage,  use  or
 23    other  consumption  of tangible personal property which is or will be incorpo-
 24    rated into real property and which has been donated  to  and  has  become  the
 25    property of:
 26        (1)  A  nonprofit organization as defined in section 63-3622O, Idaho Code;
 27        or
 28        (2)  The state of Idaho; or
 29        (3)  Any political subdivision of the state.
 30    This exemption applies whether the tangible personal property is  incorporated
 31    in  real property by the donee, a contractor or subcontractor of the donee, or
 32    any other person.
                                                                        
 33        SECTION 6.  That Section 63-3638, Idaho Code, be, and the same  is  hereby
 34    amended to read as follows:

 36             the  base amounts which were received in the last calendar quarter by
 37             each district prior to the consolidation.
 38             (iv)  If  a  special  purpose  taxing  district   is   dissolved   or
 39             disincorporated, the state tax commission shall continuously distrib-
 40             ute  to the board of county commissioners an amount equal to the last
 41             quarter's distribution prior to dissolution or disincorporation.  The
 42             board  of  county commissioners shall determine any redistribution of
 43             moneys so received.
 44             (v)   Taxing districts formed after January 1, 2001, are not entitled
 45             to a payment under the provisions of this subsection (8)(d).
