PURPOSE: This amendment clarifies that excess tax payments are credited, and it gives a time limit for tax credit and refund requests.

PURPOSE: This rule establishes procedures for refund of unused licenses and receiving tax credits on intoxicating liquor.

The agents shall make an affidavit that they inspected the intoxicating liquors denoting in the affidavit the brand, number of the containers or cases, and the disposition to be made of the spirituous liquor, wine, or malt liquor.

(C) Under no circumstances shall tax credit requests be accepted by the supervisor if the sole reason for their presentation to him/her is because the claimant has purchased beyond his/her capacity to sell.

(D) The supervisor shall not accept tax credit requests filed more than ninety (90) days after the date listed on the underlying invoice(s) for the request.
