(a) Subject to subsection (d), the county commission is authorized, by resolution duly adopted, to levy, in addition to all other taxes now imposed or authorized by law, and to collect as herein provided, a privilege or license tax, herein called a sales tax, against each person making retail sales of tangible personal property or amusements in the county at a rate not to exceed one percent of gross proceeds of sales or gross receipts, as the case may be, and an excise tax, herein called a use tax, on the storage, use, or other consumption of tangible personal property in the county purchased at retail at a rate not to exceed one percent of the sales price of such property.
(b) Any sales tax or use tax levied by the county commission pursuant to this section shall apply to and be levied upon every person or other entity required to pay, or upon whom shall have been levied, the state sales tax or state use tax.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the taxes authorized to be levied pursuant to this part shall not apply to the sale or use of property or services which are exempt under the state sales tax statutes or the state use tax statutes and corresponding regulations promulgated thereunder.
(d) Upon initial levy by the county of the taxes authorized by this part, the county commission shall simultaneously cancel the county's existing sales and use taxes currently being levied by the county under Ordinance 1769 of the county commission, as amended, that are pledged to the existing school warrants, provided that the county has previously or will simultaneously retire or defease the existing school warrants. The sales and use taxes authorized by this part and the sales and use taxes authorized to be levied by the county pursuant to Ordinance 1769 of the county commission shall not both apply to any taxable sale or storage, use, or consumption so as to result in a cumulative tax rate from both such taxes that is greater than one percent.
(e) In the event of the repeal of either or both of the state sales tax statutes or state use tax statutes, the county is authorized to continue to levy, administer, collect, and enforce the sales and use taxes authorized by this part.
