1. Every licensee shall, upon the discontinuance, sale, or transfer of the business or upon the cancellation, revocation or termination by law of a license pursuant to section 142.899, or as otherwise provided, within fifteen days, make a report as required pursuant to this chapter marked “Final Report”, and shall pay all motor fuel taxes, penalties and interest that may be due the state except as may otherwise be provided by law.

2. For purposes of this section, any person who was licensed to remit motor fuel taxes by this state prior to January 1, 1999, and who is not licensed as a supplier pursuant to this chapter shall be deemed to have the license terminated pursuant to this section as of January 1, 1999.

3. Any distributor licensed prior to January 1, 1999, who is ineligible to elect eligible purchaser status, or who otherwise does not apply for or does not receive eligible purchaser status in accordance with section 142.851, may in the alternative elect to make payment of the tax calculated and interest provided for in section 32.065 pursuant to the final report provided for in this section if the tax is paid in installments agreed to by the director not to exceed twelve months after January 1, 1999.

4. If a person elects pursuant to subsection 3 of this section to defer payment, the person shall not be eligible to claim eligible purchaser status pursuant to section 142.851 for a period of thirty-six months following the election.

5. Any former licensee shall be given the opportunity to apply for eligible purchaser status as provided in sections 142.848 and 142.851, prior to January 1, 1999. Should such determination not be complete before January 1, 1999, collection of tax shown on the final report of the former licensee shall be delayed until the determination is complete. However, the final report shall be due not later than thirty days after a denial of eligible purchaser status becomes final.

6. The final report required by this chapter shall be accompanied by payment of the liability of the final month. A one-time alternative payment method is set out in this section upon January 1, 1999, as part of the conversion from the predecessor act.
