collection agency may be assessed a fee in an amount necessary
to cover the cost of collection, not to exceed twenty percent
(20%) of the tax owed, as provided in W.S. 9-1-415(a). The
collection agency shall collect the fee with the tax that is

by this chapter for expenses incurred by a vendor or direct
payer for the accounting and reporting of taxes. The credit is
equal to one and ninety-five hundredths percent (1.95%) of the
amount of tax due, provided that the total credit under this
paragraph shall not exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00) in any
month. The vendor or direct payer shall deduct the credit for
each tax period on forms prescribed and furnished by the
department. The credit shall be deducted only from the share of
the tax that is distributed to the general fund under W.S. 39-
15-111(b)(i);
(xii) The county treasurer may collect the tax due
and any interest, penalties or costs of collection through the
