The burden of proving the contrary is upon the person who makes the sale of:

(1)(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection, tangible personal property or digital property unless the person takes from the purchaser a certificate to the effect that the property is either:

1. Purchased for resale according to the provisions of KRS 139.270;

(b) Tangible personal property to a purchaser claiming an agriculture exemption under KRS 139.480(4) to (9), (11), (13) to (15), (23) to (30), or (33) unless the person obtains from the purchaser an agriculture exemption license number or a fully completed Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement Certificate of Exemption that contains an agriculture exemption license number in accordance with KRS 139.270;

(2) A service included in KRS 139.200(2)(a) to (f) unless the person takes from the purchaser a certificate to the effect that the service is purchased through a fully completed certificate of exemption or fully completed Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement Certificate of Exemption in accordance with KRS 139.270; and

(3) A service included in KRS 139.200(2)(g) to (ax) unless the person takes from the purchaser a certificate to the effect that the service is:
