39-15-107.3. Voluntary licensing and monetary allowances offered under the streamlined sales tax agreement.
(a) Any vendor who licenses to collect and remit applicable sales or use tax on sales made to purchasers in this state in accordance with terms of the streamlined sales and use tax agreement shall not be subject to audit prior to the date of licensure provided the vendor was not licensed in this state and licensing occurs within twelve (12) months of the effective date of the streamlined sales and use tax agreement. The vendor shall not be assessed for uncollected sales or use tax together with penalty or interest for sales made during the period the vendor was not licensed in this state, provided licensing occurs within twelve (12) months of the effective date of this provision. This provision shall not apply to any vendor who has received notice of the commencement of an audit and the audit is not finally resolved including any administrative and judicial processes. The voluntary licensure provision shall not be available for sales or use taxes already paid or remitted to the state or for taxes collected by the vendor. The provisions of this section shall be fully effective absent fraud or intentional misrepresentation of a material fact so long as the vendor continues to license and continues collection and remittance of applicable sales or use taxes for a period of not less than thirty-six (36) months following his initial licensure as a vendor. The voluntary licensure provision shall only apply to sales or use taxes due from a vendor acting as a seller and not as a purchaser.
(b) A certified service provider and user of any technology model approved by the department who collects the Wyoming sales and use taxes shall be granted a monetary allowance for collecting the taxes as provided in the streamlined sales and use tax agreement. Any allowance shall be funded entirely from taxes collected under the technology models and shall be based on the contracted amount between the governing board and the service providers.
