Journal of the House

First Regular Session, 92nd General Assembly

THIRTY-NINTH DAY, Monday, March 17, 2003

         Speaker Hanaway in the Chair.

         Prayer by Reverend Mark Kiekhaefer, Grace Evangelical Free Church.

           Most High God.

           Your dominion is eternal, Your kingdom endures from generation to generation. We, the people of the earth, are regarded as nothing before You. You do as You please with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. (Daniel 4:34-35)

           I come before You this day to pray for these elected representatives of Missouri... 1) May they be examples of righteousness for the people of our state.

                         2) Grant them divine wisdom for their deliberations this day.

                         3) May Your justice be advanced in our communities as a result of their work.

                         4) May we all be restrained from doing anything that would hinder Your purposes.

                         5) May there be humility, respect and peace in working toward solutions for the issues before this body.

           We bring before Your throne the physical needs of those we care about, and especially remember Your servant David Buescher and ask You to extend Your healing hand to him.

           We are mindful too of the clouds of war that are on the horizon for our nation. We ask You, the Prince of Peace, to bring about a lasting peace in our days. Even now we lift our voices and plead for a resolution that avoids armed conflict. If the fighting begins, we ask for Your protection over - all American and allied soldiers and the people in Iraq. May the unjust be removed, the wicked brought to judgment. (Psalm 10:15 paraphrase) and may peace and liberty be established in that land we pray.

           And so, I commit these requests to You and ask for Your favor upon us this day.

           In the name of my Lord, Jesus. Amen.

         The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.

         The Speaker appointed the following to act as an Honorary Page for the Day, to serve without compensation: Caroline Krewson.

         The Journal of the thirty-seventh day was approved as corrected.

         The Journal of the thirty-eighth day was approved as printed.

House Amendment No. 1

AMEND House Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 600, Page 9, Section 144.025, Line 37, by deleting the word “primarily”; and

           Further amend said bill, Page 9, Section 144.025, Line 41, by inserting after said line the following:

           “144.081. 1. The director of revenue, by regulation, may require a seller to timely remit the unpaid state sales tax for each quarter-monthly period, only if the seller's aggregate state sales tax was ten thousand dollars or more in each of at least six months during the prior twelve months. The term "state sales tax" as used in this section means the tax imposed by sections 144.010 to 144.510 and the additional sales tax imposed by sections 43(a) to 43(c) and 47(a) to 47(c) of article IV of the Missouri Constitution and does not include any sales taxes imposed by political subdivisions of the state pursuant to other provisions of law.

           2. The director may increase the monthly requirement to more than ten thousand dollars or otherwise narrow the application of the quarter-monthly remittance system authorized by this section. The director may not require the remittance of state sales taxes more often than monthly unless authorized by this section.

           3. A remittance shall be timely if mailed as provided in section 143.851, RSMo, within three banking days after the end of the quarter-monthly period or if received by the director or deposited in a depository designated by the director within four banking days after the end of the quarter-monthly period.

            4. The unpaid amount shall be after a reduction for the compensation provided by section 144.140. The unpaid amount at the end of a quarter-monthly period shall not include unpaid amounts for a prior quarter-monthly period only if the seller made a remittance with respect to the prior quarter-monthly period. The excess, if any, of a remittance over the actual amount for a period shall be applied in order of time to each of the seller's succeeding remittances with respect to the same return period.

           5. For purposes of this section, "quarter-monthly period" means:

           (1) The first seven days of a calendar month;

           (2) The eighth to fifteenth day of a calendar month;

           (3) The sixteenth to twenty-second day of a calendar month; and

           (4) The portion following the twenty-second of a calendar month.

            6. (1) In the case of an underpayment of any amount required to be paid pursuant to this section, a seller shall be liable for a penalty in lieu of all other penalties, interest or additions to tax imposed by this chapter for violating this section. The penalty shall be five percent of the amount of the underpayment determined under subdivision (2) of this subsection.

(2) The amount of the underpayment shall be the excess of:

           (a) Ninety percent of the unpaid amount at the end of a quarter-monthly period, over

           (b) The amount, if any, of the timely remittance for the quarter-monthly period.

           7. (1) The penalty with respect to any quarter-monthly period shall not be imposed if the seller's timely remittance for the quarter-monthly period equals or exceeds one-fourth of the average monthly state sales tax liability of the seller for the preceding calendar year. The month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability shall be excluded in computing the average. This subdivision shall apply only to a seller who had a state sales tax liability for at least six months of the previous calendar year.

           (2) The penalty shall not be imposed if the seller establishes that the failure to make a timely remittance of at least ninety percent was due to reasonable cause, and not due to willful neglect.

           (3) The penalty shall not be imposed against any seller for the first two months the seller is obligated to make quarter-monthly remittance of state sales taxes.

           8. Tax amounts remitted under this section shall be treated as payments on the seller's monthly return required by sections 144.080 and 144.090. Tax amounts remitted under this section shall be deemed to have been paid on the last day prescribed for filing the return. The preceding sentence shall apply in computing compensation under section 144.140, interest, penalties and additions to tax and for purposes of all sections of this chapter, except this section.

           9. The director of revenue may prescribe the use of an electronic funds payment system for the payment of sales and use taxes by any seller subject to the requirement of quarter-monthly remittance as provided in this section.”; and

           Further amend said bill, Page 11, Section 2, Line 3, by deleting the words “tax returns and pay all state taxes” and inserting in lieu thereof the words “income tax returns and pay all state income taxes”; and

           3. If any tax was paid more than once, or was incorrectly collected or computed, such sum shall be credited on any taxes due from the person legally obligated to remit the tax pursuant to this chapter, or refunded, with interest as determined by section 32.065, RSMo, to the person legally obligated to remit the tax if duplicate copies of a claim for refund are filed within three years from the date of overpayment and:

           (1) The person legally obligated to remit the tax demonstrates to the satisfaction of the director of revenue that all incorrectly collected or computed amounts were or will be refunded or credited to every purchaser that originally paid the tax; or

           (2) The person legally obligated to remit the tax submits to the director amended sales tax returns showing the correct amount of gross receipts for each reporting period originally filed and proves to the director's satisfaction that the tax originally reported and remitted to the director was paid by such person claiming the refund or credit and was not collected from purchasers; or

           (3) The person legally obligated to remit the tax submits a plan between the person and the director to generally refund the amount of overpayment in equal installations to the person's future customers by a mutually agreed to distribution of a fixed value coupon to the customers.

           4. Every claim for refund must be in writing and signed by the applicant, and must state the specific grounds upon which the claim is founded. Any refund or any portion thereof which is erroneously made, and any credit or any portion thereof which is erroneously allowed, may be recovered in any action brought by the director of revenue against the person legally obligated to remit the tax. In the event that a tax has been illegally imposed against a person legally obligated to remit the tax, the director of revenue shall authorize the cancellation of the tax upon the director's record.            [4.] 5. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the director of revenue shall authorize direct-pay agreements to purchasers which have annual purchases in excess of seven hundred fifty thousand dollars pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by the director of revenue.

           (1) For purposes of this subsection, the terms "customer", "home service provider", "place of primary use", "electronic database", and "enhanced zip code" shall have the same meanings as defined in the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Act incorporated by reference in section 144.013;

           (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, if a customer of mobile telecommunications services believes that the amount of tax, the assignment of place of primary use or the taxing jurisdiction included on a billing is erroneous, the customer shall notify the home service provider, in writing, within three years from the date of the billing statement. The customer shall include in such written notification the street address for the customer's place of primary use, the account name and number for which the customer seeks a correction of the tax assignment, a description of the error asserted by the customer and any other information the home service provider reasonably requires to process the request;

           (3) Within sixty days of receiving the customer's notice, the home service provider shall review its records and the electronic database or enhanced zip code to determine the customer's correct taxing jurisdiction. If the home service provider determines that the review shows that the amount of tax, assignment of place of primary use or taxing jurisdiction is in error, the home service provider shall correct the error and, at its election, either refund or credit the amount of tax erroneously collected to the customer for a period of up to three years from the last day of the home service provider's sixty-day review period. If the home service provider determines that the review shows that the amount of tax, the assignment of place of primary use or the taxing jurisdiction is correct, the home service provider shall provide a written explanation of its determination to the customer."; and

           Further amend said title, enacting clause and intersectional references accordingly.
