Section 40-23-31 - Department to Make Rules and Regulations.

The Department of Revenue shall from time to time promulgate such rules and regulations for making returns and for ascertainment, assessment and collection of the tax imposed hereunder as it may be deemed necessary to enforce its provisions; and upon request shall furnish any taxpayer with a copy of such rules and regulations. The department may adopt rules and regulations providing for the issuance of permits to manufacturers to purchase tangible personal property without the payment to the vendor of the sales tax, and providing for such manufacturer to report and pay such tax directly to the department, in instances where the department determines that it is practically impossible at the time of purchase for such manufacturer or his vendors to determine with any degree of certainty the applicability of such tax, and that such provisions will facilitate and expedite the collection of the tax which may be due from such consumer; and such provisions may also be made applicable to persons engaged in the business of mining, quarrying, compounding or processing tangible personal property, railroads, transportation companies and others.
