1. To the extent permitted by federal law, the Department may enter into a cooperative agreement with other states and countries for the exchange of information regarding, and the auditing of, persons who use special fuel in motor vehicles operated or intended to operate interstate. Any agreement, arrangement or declaration, or any amendment thereto, is not effective until reduced to writing and signed by the parties thereto or their authorized representatives.
2. An agreement may include, with respect to persons who use special fuel, provisions:
(a) For determining the domicile of those persons;
(b) Specifying the records which are required to be kept by those persons;
(c) Relating to audit procedures, the exchange of information and persons eligible for licensing;
(d) Defining various words and terms;
(e) Setting forth the procedure for collecting special fuel taxes owing to another jurisdiction and forwarding those taxes to that jurisdiction; and
(f) Designed to facilitate the administration of the agreement.
3. The Department may, pursuant to the terms of an agreement, forward to the designated representatives of another jurisdiction any information in its possession relating to the manufacture, transportation, shipment, sale or use of special fuel by any person, and the location within this State of any motor vehicles owned by a person who has been identified by another jurisdiction as a user of special fuel.
4. An agreement may provide that each jurisdiction shall audit the records of persons residing or doing business within that jurisdiction to determine if the special fuel taxes owing to each jurisdiction have been properly reported and paid, and requiring each jurisdiction to forward the findings of its audits to every other jurisdiction in which the person who is the subject of an audit has incurred tax liability as a result of his or her use of special fuel. The audit findings received from another jurisdiction may be used by the Department as the basis for an estimated assessment of tax due from a person pursuant to the provisions of NRS 360A.100.
5. Any agreement entered into pursuant to the provisions of this section does not preclude the Department from auditing the records of any person subject to the provisions of this chapter.
6. As used in this section, "agreement" means the International Fuel Tax Agreement.
