§63-4105. Value of vessel or motor - Time, method of determination - Disputed value.
A. The value of any vessel or motor for the purposes of the excise tax levied by Section 4103 of this title shall be determined as of the time the person applying for a certificate of title thereto obtained either legal ownership or possession of the vessel or motor which shall be the actual date of the sale or other transfer of legal ownership, which date shall be shown by the assignment on the certificate of title or, in the case of a new vessel or motor on the manufacturer's certificate or statement of origin hereby required, and by the application for registration, required to be furnished by the licensed dealer for use by the purchaser. The value of a new vessel or new motor for excise tax purposes shall be the manufacturer's price of such vessel or motor delivered at the factory. As used herein, the manufacturer's factory-delivered price shall represent the recommended retail selling price and shall not mean the wholesale price to a dealer. Further, for purposes of the Oklahoma Vessel and Motor Excise Tax Act, Section 4102 et seq. of this title, a new vessel or new motor used by a licensed dealer for demonstration purposes shall be considered a new vessel or new motor upon the first time sale and registration of such vessel or motor. The value of a used vessel or used motor shall be sixty-five percent (65%) of the manufacturer's price of such vessel or motor delivered at the factory for subsequent transfers for the first year and for the second year and sixty-five percent (65%) of the value of the previous year so fixed for each successive year for which such vessel or motor is registered and licensed in this or any other state, until such vessel or motor reaches a minimum value of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00).
B. The Commission shall have the authority in cases of dispute to determine the factory delivered price or price of any vessel or motor.
C. In computing the excise tax, the fees collected shall be rounded to the nearest dollar.
