Chapter 3.12 SALES AND USE TAX
Section 3.12.030 Imposed.
A. 1. From and after the effective
date of this chapter, there is levied and there shall be
collected and paid a tax upon every retail sale of tangible personal property, services and meals
made within the municipality at the rate of one percent.
2. An excise tax is imposed on the
storage, use, or other consumption in this municipality of
tangible personal property from any retailer on or after the operative date of this chapter at the
rate of one percent of the sales price of the property.
3. For the purpose of this chapter
all retail sales shall be presumed to have been
consummated at the place of business delivered by the retailer or his agent to an out-of-state
destination or to a common carrier for delivery to an out-of-state destination. In the event a
retailer has no permanent place of business, the place or places at which the retail sales are
consummated shall be as determined under the rules and regulations prescribed by and adopted
by the State Tax Commission. Public utilities, as defined by UCA Title 54, shall not be obligated
to determine the place or places within any county or municipality where public utility services
are rendered, but the place of sale or the sales tax revenue arising from such service allocable to
the City shall be as described by the State Tax Commission pursuant to an appropriate formula
and other rules and regulations to be prescribed and adopted by it.
B. 1. Except as hereinafter
provided, and except insofar as they are inconsistent with the
provisions of the Sales and Use Tax Act, all of the provisions of UCA Chapter 59-12, as
amended, and in force and effect on the effective date of this chapter, insofar as they relate to
sales taxes, excepting Sections 59-12-101 and 59-12-119 thereof, are adopted and made part of
this chapter as though fully set forth herein.
2. Wherever, and to the extent that
in UCA Chapter 59-12, the state of Utah is named or
referred to as the taxing agency, the name of this municipality shall be substituted therefor.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to require substitution of the name of the municipality for the
word "state" when that word is used as part of the title of the State Tax Commission, or of
the
Constitution of the state of Utah, nor shall the name of the municipality be substituted for that of
the state in any section when the result of that substitution would require action to be taken by or
against the municipality or any agency thereof, rather than by or against the State Tax
Commission in performing the functions incident to the administration or operation of this
chapter.
3. If an annual license has been issued
to a retailer under UCA 59-12-106, an additional
license shall not be required by reason of this section.
4. There shall be excluded from the
purchase price paid or charged by which the tax is
measured:
a. The amount of any sales or use
tax imposed by the state upon a retailer or consumer; or
b. The gross receipts from the sale
of or the cost of storage, use or other consumption of
tangible personal property upon which a sales or use tax has become due by reason of the sale,
transaction to any other municipality and any county in the state under the sales or use tax
ordinance enacted by that county or municipality in accordance with the Sales and Use Tax Act.
