  1. A.  Notwithstanding Section 17.105.095 of this Chapter, if the first sale, use or distribution of Motor Vehicle Fuel is from one licensed Dealer to another licensed Dealer, the selling or distributing Dealer is not required to pay the Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax imposed in this Chapter. When the purchasing or receiving Dealer first sells, uses or distributes the fuel, that Dealer shall pay the Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax regardless of whether the sale, use or distribution is to another licensed Dealer.
  2. B.  The Seller of Use Fuel shall collect the Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax at the time the fuel is dispensed or placed for a price into a receptacle on a motor vehicle, from which receptacle the fuel is supplied to propel the vehicle, unless one of the following situations applies:

    2. 2.  The fuel is dispensed at a nonretail facility, in which case the Seller shall collect any tax owed at the same time the seller collects the purchase price from the person to whom the fuel was dispensed at the nonretail facility.

    3. 3.  A cardlock card is used for purchase of the fuel at an attended portion of a retail facility equipped with a cardlock card reader, in which case the cardlock card issuer licensed in this state is responsible for collecting and remitting the tax unless the person making the purchase certifies to the seller that the use of the fuel is exempt from the tax imposed under this Chapter.
