Texas Tax Code - TAX § 152.085. Rental of Motor Vehicle for Purposes of Re-Rental

(a) The taxes imposed by this chapter on the gross rental receipts from the rental of a motor vehicle do not apply to the rental of a motor vehicle for the purpose of re-rental.

(b) The minimum gross rental receipts tax imposed by Section 152.026 of this code remains the obligation of the owner as defined by Section 152.001(9)(A) of this code.  The owner may credit all gross rental receipts taxes paid to the comptroller on the re-rental of a motor vehicle registered under Section 152.061 of this code for the purpose of calculating the amount of minimum gross rental receipts tax due.

(c) A person authorized by Section 152.061 of this code to register motor vehicles for rental may issue an exemption certificate to the owner of the motor vehicle.  An owner who takes the certificate in good faith is relieved of the burden of proving that the motor vehicle was rented for purposes of re-rental.
