A. The tax levied in this Part shall be due and payable immediately upon the producing, refining, manufacturing, blending, or compounding of any gasoline or motor fuel for sale, use, or consumption within the state, or immediately upon the bringing of gasoline or motor fuel into the state of Louisiana for sale, use, or consumption therein, provided that dealers who have furnished bond as required in this Part, and whose bonds have been accepted, shall be required to pay the tax at the time of making reports to the secretary, as required in this Part.
B. Dealers, except those as defined in R.S. 47:712(5) and 721(B), shall have the option to pay the taxes on the gasoline or motor fuel manufactured within the state or imported into the state during the calendar monthly period, or on the gasoline or motor fuel actually sold, used or consumed during the monthly period.
C. As to dealers electing to pay the taxes under the first option in Subsection B, no monthly inventory accounting will be required, no credit or deduction will be allowed for stock losses except those occurring under the provision of R.S. 47:720 of this Part, and the taxes may be paid on the gross receipts adjusted to sixty degrees Fahrenheit. However, jobbers as defined in R.S. 47:721(B) and 712(5) of this Part must pay the taxes paid directly to the secretary on the same temperature basis at which the tax under R.S. 47:711 is billed to them by the bonded manufacturer.
D. Dealers who elect to pay the taxes on the gasoline or motor fuel actually sold, used or consumed in the state during the calendar monthly period, must submit reports including an actual inventory accounting, and the taxes as levied under R.S. 47:711 must be paid on the same temperature basis at which the gasoline or motor fuel is sold and billed to the purchaser or consumer. In no instance, including at the service station level, shall the taxes be collected on gross or measured gallons and remitted on net of sixty degrees Fahrenheit temperature adjusted gallons. Stock transfers by the dealer from refinery or terminal storage to other storage locations shall not constitute a sale unless there is a bona fide change in ownership. Loaned or exchanged gasoline or motor fuel between dealers within Louisiana shall be deemed taxable unless placed in the custody of a common carrier or pipeline for subsequent exportation.
E. In all cases the tax report shall become delinquent unless filed within twenty days after the expiration of the last preceding calendar month. Payment of the taxes shall be made by remitting the funds to the secretary of revenue and taxation by bank draft, post office or express money order, certified check or cash.
