(2) Any tax paid on tobacco products or vapor products that have been sold or shipped to retail dealers, wholesale dealers, or vapor distributors outside this state, returned to the manufacturer, or destroyed by the taxpayer with the prior approval of the tax commissioner.

(B) On the filing of the application for refund, the commissioner shall determine the amount of the refund to which the applicant is entitled. If the amount is not less than that claimed, the commissioner shall certify the amount to the director of budget and management and to the treasurer of state for payment from the tax refund fund created by section5703.052of the Revised Code. If the amount is less than that claimed, the commissioner shall proceed in accordance with section5703.70of the Revised Code.

The interest shall be computed at the rate per annum in the manner prescribed by section5703.47of the Revised Code.

(C) If any person entitled to a refund under this section or section5703.70of the Revised Code is indebted to the state for any tax administered by the tax commissioner, or any charge, penalties, or interest arising from such tax, the amount allowable on the application for refund first shall be applied in satisfaction of the debt.

The commissioner may require taxpayers to submit any information necessary to support a claim for a credit under this section, and the commissioner shall allow no credit if that information is not provided.
