§ TX.152.046. CHANGE IN TAX STATUS OF MOTOR VEHICLE

CHANGE IN TAX STATUS OF MOTOR VEHICLE. (a) If the owner, as defined by Section 152.001 (9)(A) of this code, of a motor vehicle registered as a rental vehicle ceases to use the vehicle for rental, the owner shall report and remit on the next report required to be filed with the comptroller by Section 152.045 (a) of this code any unpaid portion of gross rental receipts tax imposed by Section 152.026 of this code. (b) An owner of a motor vehicle on which the motor vehicle sales or use tax has been paid who subsequently uses the vehicle for rental shall collect the gross rental receipts tax imposed by this chapter from the person renting the vehicle. The owner may credit an amount equal to the motor vehicle sales or use tax paid by the owner to the comptroller against the amount of gross rental receipts due. This credit is not transferable and cannot be applied against tax due and payable from the rental of another vehicle belonging to the same owner. (c) For the purpose of determining the amount of minimum tax due under Section 152.026 (c) of this code only, an owner of a motor vehicle on which the tax on gross rental receipts is imposed may credit against the amount of gross rental receipts due an amount equal to the tax on gross rental receipts the owner has paid to any other state. This credit is not transferable and cannot be applied against tax due and payable from the rental of another vehicle belonging to the same owner. Acts 1981, 67th Leg., p. 1590, ch. 389, Sec. 1, eff.
