1. For the purpose of more efficiently securing the payment of and accounting for the tax collected and remitted by retailers and vendors, the department is hereby authorized:
(1) To consult, contract, and work jointly with the streamlined sales and use tax agreement's governing board to allow sellers to use the governing board's certified service providers and central registration system services; or
(2) To consult, contract, and work with certified service providers independently. The department is authorized to determine the method and amount of compensation to be provided to certified service providers by this state for the services of such certified service providers to certain sellers, provided that no certified service provider or seller utilizing a certified service provider shall be entitled to the deduction provided in subsection 1 of section 144.140.
