A. The department shall collect and administer any transaction privilege and affiliated excise taxes, including use tax, severance tax, jet fuel excise and use tax, and rental occupancy tax, imposed by any city or town. The department and each city or town shall enter into a intergovernmental contract or agreement to provide a uniform method of administration, collection, audit and licensing of transaction privilege and affiliated excise taxes imposed by the state or cities or towns pursuant to title 11, chapter 7, article 3.
