(i) for a motor vehicle that the seller:

(A) is no longer doing business in this state; and

(B) does not owe a tax under this chapter.

(2) The amount of the credit allowed by Subsection (1) is equal to the product of:

(a) on the portion of the motor vehicle's unpaid purchase price that:

(i) the seller recovers; and

(ii) is used to calculate the credit allowed by Subsection (1)(b); and

(b) on a return filed for the time period for which the portion of the motor vehicle's unpaid purchase price is recovered.
