La. R.S. 47:1034 — Gross receipts; transportation for own use

Whenever the transportation of natural gas by pipeline is by the owner for its own use, the gross receipts from such business shall be deemed and held to be the cost of the natural gas transported delivered at the point of use, as determined from the books and records of the owner, subject to the ratio provisions of R.S. 47:1032. When there are no actual receipts upon which to base the tax, the base will be the cost of the natural gas delivered at the point of use as determined from the books and records of the owner or the average of the monthly spot market price of gas fuels delivered into the pipelines in Louisiana as reported by the Natural Gas Clearing House.
