28-5638. Deferred remittance election eligibility
A. Each purchaser that desires to make an election under section 28-5637 shall present evidence to the department that either:
1. The applicant was a licensed distributor in good standing before January 1, 1998.
2. The applicant meets the financial responsibility and bonding requirements imposed by this article. The bond shall conform to the specific requirements of this section.
B. The department may require a purchaser that pays the tax to a supplier to file with the department a surety bond that is payable to this state and on which the purchaser is the obligor, or other financial security, in an amount satisfactory to the department. The department may require that the bond indemnify the department against uncollectible tax credits claimed by the supplier under section 28-5639.
C. The department may rescind a purchaser's eligibility and election to defer motor vehicle or aviation fuel tax remittances after a hearing and on a showing of good cause, including failure to make a timely tax deferred payment of tax to a supplier under section 28-5637, by sending written notice to all suppliers or publishing notice of the revocation pursuant to rules. The department may require further assurance of the financial responsibility of the purchaser, may increase the bond requirement for that purchaser or may take any other action that the department may require to ensure remittance of the motor vehicle or aviation fuel tax.
