The purpose for the enactment of this subchapter is to provide a simplified method for the operators of the vending devices to be able to pay their proportionate amount of state and local taxes, without being required to maintain complex financial records that would otherwise be required of the operators who are in the unique position among retailers in this state of not being able to pass the cost of sales taxes directly on to their customers, and to assure that the State of Arkansas and its cities and counties collect their fair share of taxes from what is almost entirely a cash business.
