Exempt aviation fuel

# (a)

The commissioner may license dealers to purchase fuel that is exempt under subparagraph (L) of subdivision (3) of subsection (a) of section 12-458 from distributors and to sell such nontaxable fuel, provided they can properly control such sale, through meters or by full tank wagon compartment delivery, directly into the fuel tank of any aircraft or aircraft engine. The dealer so licensed shall keep and maintain proper accounting records of all purchases from the distributor and sales invoices to the purchaser, showing the signature of the purchaser and the license number of the aircraft serviced, and the inventory on hand on the first day of each month. Such records shall be preserved for a period of at least three years and shall be audited by the commissioner at regular intervals. Any discrepancies found to exist for which a satisfactory explanation cannot be submitted shall be subject to the tax imposed by section 12-458 against such dealer. The license to sell fuel as a dealer under this subsection may be revoked if the licensee fails to properly control and safeguard the state from any diversion to uses other than those specified in this section.

Such report shall state the number of gallons of aviation turbine fuel sold or used by him during the preceding calendar month, on forms to be furnished by the commissioner, and shall contain such further information as the commissioner shall prescribe.
