Accountable Losses

Section 1. No allowance for losses of gasoline or special fuels on which the Kentucky tax has been paid can be made on gasoline or special fuels held in retail filling stations or in tanks other than bulk plant or distribution tanks by licensed dealers and gasoline or special fuels held in any tanks by parties other than licensed dealers. Such gasoline or special fuels having passed the statutory process of "receiving," the act of use, sale, distribution or delivery, on which the tax is levied, has already occurred.

Section 2. An allowance may be made by the department for a loss of "received" gasoline or special fuels held in bulk and distribution tanks by licensed dealers from which sale or delivery is made, provided an affidavit signed by the licensed gasoline or special fuels dealer is furnished the department.

Section 3. If, after investigation, the losses are proved to the satisfaction of the department to have occurred the dealer will be advised to make a deduction from subsequent monthly reports equal to the amount of such approved losses.
