Applications
The various taxes are applied based on three different criteria:
- Location of the tank
- Product sold
- Use of the product
The location of the tank is taken from the tank record itself and includes the City, County, School District, and State definition of the tank. In some cases where tax applies only on rural areas of a city, the Rural indicator will determine the application of such tax.
Product
The product (usually fuel type) is determined by the department associated with the sales transactions. When the tax is associated with this specific product, the tax will be applied.
Use
The use of the product is defined in the Tank-Product Reference table and determines the application of taxes associated with a specific use (Commercial, Agricultural, etc.).
