Alternatively, they may elect to report an amount that is a percentage of their adjusted gross income determined under subsection (b) of this section, as shown on a table published by the Commissioner of Taxes; and use tax liability arising from the purchase of each item with a purchase price in excess of $1,000.00 shall be added to the table amount.

(b) The amount of use tax a taxpayer may elect to report under subsection (a) of this section shall be 0.10 percent of their adjusted gross income; provided, however, that a taxpayer shall not be required to pay more than $500.00 for use tax liability under this subsection, arising from total purchases of items with a purchase price of $1,000.00 or less.
