Claim for Additional Local Tax Eligible for Rebate
Instructions
Qualifying businesses may be eligible for a rebate or refund of the additional local tax paid on qualifying business purchases on purchase invoices that exceed $2500.00. A qualifying business purchase means a purchase of tangible personal property or a taxable service for which a business may claim a business expense deduction or depreciation deduction for federal income tax purposes. The purchase will be eligible even though the business purchaser may not be required to file an income tax return. Some examples are governmental agencies (including schools and colleges or universities) and non-profit organizations (including churches).
For purposes of determining the rebate or refund amount a uniform single transaction definition has been adopted effective January 1, 2008:
“Single transaction shall mean any sale of tangible personal property or taxable service reflected on a single invoice, receipt, or statement for which an aggregate sales or use tax amount has been reported or remitted to the state for a single local taxing jurisdiction.”
Refunds or rebates will no longer be issued by the city or county for purchases made on or after January 1, 2008.
There is a six month time limit on requesting a rebate which begins on the date of the purchase or from the date of payment of the tax to the seller, whichever is later.
To request a refund the customer will complete a Claim for Local Tax Rebate form which requires a listing of invoices on which the city and county sales and use tax was paid in the state of Arkansas. The completed form shall be submitted by the customer to the Sales and Use Tax Section along with photocopies of each of the invoices.
