 12    an  invoice signed by the purchaser, or other proper documents approved by the
 13    commission but only if:
 14        (a)  The purchaser is not a licensed distributor and the seller can estab-
 15        lish that any tax due in the jurisdiction  to  which  the  motor  fuel  is
 16        destined is paid; or
 17        (b)  The  purchaser is a licensed distributor in the jurisdiction to which
 18        the motor fuel is destined.

  5        sells its biodiesel blends to a person who is not a motor fuel distributor
  6        licensed in this state.
  7        (d)  The deduction provided in this subsection shall not exceed  ten  per-
  8        cent (10%) of (i) the volume of gasohol reported on the report or (ii) the
  9        special fuel which is or contains biodiesel.
