(a) A tax is imposed on the removal within this state of motor fuel from the terminal using the terminal rack, other than by bulk transfer. The supplier shall collect the tax imposed by this article from the person who orders the withdrawal at the terminal rack.
(b) Subject to Section 40-17-340, a tax is imposed at the time motor fuel is imported into this state, other than by a bulk transfer, for delivery to a destination in this state. The supplier or permissive supplier shall collect the tax imposed by this article from the person who imports the motor fuel into this state. If the seller is not a supplier or permissive supplier, then the person who imports the motor fuel into this state shall pay the tax.
(c) A tax is imposed on the sale or transfer of motor fuel in the bulk transfer/terminal system in this state by a supplier to a person who is not registered under Section 4101 of the Internal Revenue Code for transactions in motor fuel in the bulk transfer/terminal distribution system. The supplier shall collect the tax imposed by this article from the person who orders the sale or transfer in the bulk transfer/terminal system.
(d) A tax is imposed on the blending of motor fuel at the point blended fuel is made in this state outside the bulk transfer/terminal system. The blender shall pay the tax. The rate of tax owed will be at the rate applicable for gasoline or diesel fuel and will depend on which of these two fuels is used in the blending. The number of gallons of blended fuel on which the tax is imposed is equal to the difference between the number of gallons of blended fuel made and the number of gallons of previously taxed motor fuel used to make the blended fuel.
(e) A terminal operator in this state is considered a supplier for the purpose of the tax imposed under this article unless at the time of removal both of the following occur:
(1) The terminal operator has a terminal operator’s license issued by the department for the facility from which the motor fuel is withdrawn.
(2) The terminal operator verifies that the person who removes the motor fuel has a supplier’s license.
(f) In each subsequent sale of motor fuel on which the tax has been paid, the amount of the tax shall be added to the selling price so that the tax is paid ultimately by the person using or consuming the motor fuel. Motor fuel is considered to be used when it is delivered into a fuel supply tank.
(g) Motor fuel in a refinery, a pipeline, a terminal, or a marine vessel transporting motor fuel to a refinery or terminal is in the bulk transfer/terminal system. Motor fuel in a motor fuel storage facility including, but not limited to, a bulk plant that is not part of a refinery or terminal, in the motor fuel supply tank of any engine or motor vehicle, or in any tank car, rail car, trailer, truck, or other equipment suitable for ground transportation is not in the bulk transfer/terminal system.
