Regulation 2000. Retailer Reimbursement Retention.

Public Resources Code section 4629.5, as added by Statutes 2012, chapter 289, requires the Board of Equalization to adopt a regulation to determine the amount of reimbursement a retailer may retain for costs associated with the collection of the Lumber Products Assessment imposed by Public Resources Code section 4629.5.
A retailer required to collect the Lumber Products Assessment may retain no more than $250 per location as reimbursement for startup costs associated with the collection of the assessment. Such reimbursement is to be taken on the retailer’s first return on which the Lumber Products Assessment is reported or, if the amount of the collected assessment is less than the allowed reimbursement, on the retailer’s next consecutive returns until the allowed reimbursement amount is retained.
"Location" means and is limited to a business location registered under the retailer’s seller’s permit as of January 1, 2013, where sales of products subject to the assessment are made.
