- (a) The Director of the Department of Finance and Administration shall provide amnesty for uncollected or unpaid sales or use tax to a seller that registers to pay or to collect and remit applicable sales or use tax on sales made to purchasers in the state in accordance with the terms of the agreement, provided that the seller was not registered to collect sales and use tax in the State of Arkansas in the twelve-month period preceding the effective date of the state's participation in the agreement.
- (b) The amnesty shall preclude assessment for uncollected or unpaid sales or use tax, penalty, and interest for sales made during the period that the seller was not registered in the state, provided registration occurs within twelve (12) months of the date the state is found to be in compliance with the agreement.
- (c) The amnesty shall not be available to a seller with respect to any matter or matters for which the seller received notice of the commencement of an audit and the audit is not yet finally resolved, including any related administrative and judicial processes.
- (d) The amnesty shall not be available for sales or use taxes already paid or remitted to the Department of Finance and Administration or to taxes collected by the seller.
- (e) The amnesty shall be fully effective, absent the seller's fraud or intentional misrepresentations of a material fact, so long as the seller continues its Arkansas sales and use tax registration and continues payment or collection and remittance of applicable sales or use taxes for a period of at least thirty-six (36) months from the date amnesty was awarded.
- (f) The amnesty shall be applicable only to sales or use taxes due from a seller in its capacity as a seller and not to sales or use taxes due from a seller in its capacity as a purchaser.
- (g) The director shall also provide amnesty to a seller for uncollected or unpaid sales or use tax if:
- (1) The seller was already registered with the agreement at the time Arkansas became a full member of the agreement; and
- (2) The seller was not registered to collect sales and use tax in Arkansas in the twelve-month period preceding the effective date of Arkansas's full membership in the agreement.
