Instructions for Claim for Refund Local Sales and Use Tax Paid Beyond Maximum Tax
WHO MAY FILE.  Any person who has made a taxable purchase of tangible personal property from one of the following cities or counties 
and paid the retailer local tax beyond the maximum tax.  The Maximum Tax is the maximum amount of local tax that could apply to a single 
transaction.  The maximum tax amount (refund cap) allows purchasers to obtain a refund of the local tax paid to the retailer in excess of 
the maximum tax amount.  Retailers may elect to collect the total local tax amount or collect up to the maximum tax amount, but must be 
consistent in the method they choose.  When retailers collect the total local tax on the selling price and the local tax exceeds the maximum 
tax, purchasers may apply to the Tax Commissioner for a refund of the excess amount.  Retailers may choose to issue a refund directly to the 
purchaser in the amount due.  If this occurs, no refund would be due from the Offi ce of State Tax Commissioner.
Local Maximum Tax Amounts:  Local Maximum Tax applies to each individual purchase (invoice) unless otherwise specifi ed.  
* Only cities and counties who impose a maximum tax are listed below.
