9 | qualify for
this exemption
or used in any other non-exempt | ||||||

11 | this Act or the Service Use Tax Act, as the case may
be, based | ||||||
12 | on the fair market value of the property at the time the
| ||||||
13 | non-qualifying use occurs. No lessor shall collect or attempt | ||||||
14 | to collect an
amount (however
designated) that purports to | ||||||
15 | reimburse that lessor for the tax imposed by this
Act or the | ||||||

18 | amount from the
lessee, the lessee shall have a legal right to | ||||||
19 | claim a refund of that amount
from the lessor. If, however, | ||||||
20 | that amount is not refunded to the lessee for
any reason, the | ||||||

3 | nonexempt manner, the
lessor shall be liable for the tax | ||||||
4 | imposed under this Act or the Use Tax Act,

the
out-of-state registration | ||||||

7 | statement to the appropriate tax collection agency in his | ||||||
8 | or her state of residence. In addition, the retailer must | ||||||
9 | retain a signed copy of the statement in his or her | ||||||
10 | records. Nothing in this item shall be construed to require | ||||||
11 | the removal of the vehicle from this state following the | ||||||
12 | filing of an intent to title the vehicle in the purchaser's | ||||||
13 | state of residence if the purchaser titles the vehicle in | ||||||
14 | his or her state of residence within 30 days after the date | ||||||
15 | of sale. The tax collected under this Act in accordance | ||||||
16 | with this item (25-5) shall be proportionately distributed | ||||||
17 | as if the tax were collected at the 6.25% general rate | ||||||
18 | imposed under this Act.

2 | flight and ground test for inspection, as required by | ||||||
3 | 14 C.F.R. 91.407; | ||||||
4 | (2) the aircraft is not based or registered in this | ||||||

8 | dated certification from the purchaser, on a form | ||||||
9 | prescribed by the Department, certifying that the | ||||||
10 | requirements of this item (25-7) are met. The | ||||||
11 | certificate must also include the name and address of | ||||||
12 | the purchaser, the address of the location where the | ||||||
13 | aircraft is to be titled or registered, the address of | ||||||
