§ 57-32-04 — Allocation of tax

The taxes imposed by this chapter upon express companies must be collected by the state
tax commissioner and transferred to the state treasurer for deposit in the state general fund.
The taxes imposed by this chapter upon air transportation companies must be collected by
the state tax commissioner and deposited with the state treasurer, who shall credit the same to
the air transportation fund, but within ninety days after receipt thereof, these funds must be
allocated and remitted as herein provided by the state treasurer to the cities or municipal airport
authorities where such transportation companies make regularly scheduled landings. The taxes
collected from each company must be allocated to each city or municipal airport authority where
that company makes regularly scheduled landings by multiplying the total tax collected by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the company's property at a given city or
municipal airport and the denominator of which is the total value of the property located in North
Dakota that is subject to the assessment. It is the duty of the tax commissioner to certify to the
state treasurer the names of such air transportation companies and the amount of tax of each
company that must be allocated by the state treasurer to each city or municipal airport authority.
