Missouri Revised Statutes Title X. Taxation and Revenue § 142.848. Distributor’s election on timing of remittance

There shall be an election available to those eligible distributors who remove fuel from a terminal or refinery operated by a supplier or permissive supplier who remit the tax through the supplier, acting as a trustee, as to the timing of the remittance. At the election of an eligible purchaser, which notice shall be evidenced by a written statement from the director as to the purchaser eligibility status as determined pursuant to section 142.851, the supplier shall not require a payment of motor fuel tax on transport truckloads from the purchaser sooner than two business days prior to the date on which the tax is required to be remitted by the supplier pursuant to section 142.842. This election shall be subject to a condition that the remittances by the eligible purchaser of all amounts of tax due the supplier shall be paid on the basis of ninety-seven percent for gasoline, gasoline blends and gasoline blend stocks and ninety-eight percent for diesel fuel, diesel blends and diesel blend stocks and which shall be paid by electronic funds transfer on or before the second preceding day prior to the date of the remittance by the supplier to the director. Should the tax being remitted through the supplier be a destination state motor fuel tax on exports pursuant to section 142.815, the timing and basis of this section are to be substituted for the due dates and basis of an importer's tax in the destination state.
