Sec. 19. If the name of the owner of a boat is legally changed and the change has caused a change in the owner's annual tax payment date, the excise tax liability of the owner shall be adjusted as follows:
(1) If the name change requires the owner to pay the excise tax sooner than the owner would have been required to pay if there had been no name change, the owner shall, at the time the name change is reported, be authorized a refund from the county treasurer in the amount of the product of:
(A) one-twelfth (1/12) of the owner's last preceding annual excise tax liability; multiplied by
(B) the number of full calendar months between the owner's new tax payment month and the tax payment month that is based on the owner's former name.
(2) If the name change requires the owner to pay the excise tax later than the owner would have been required to pay if there had been no name change, the boat is subject to excise tax for the period between the month in which the owner would have been required to pay if there had been no name change and the new tax payment month. The amount of the tax is equal to the amount determined under STEP FOUR of the following formula:
STEP ONE: Determine the number of full calendar months between the month in which the owner would have been required to register if there had been no name change and the owner's new annual registration month.
STEP TWO: Multiply:
(i) the STEP ONE result; by
(ii) one-twelfth (1/12).
STEP THREE: Determine the owner's excise tax liability computed as of the time the owner would have been required to pay the excise tax if there had been no name change.
STEP FOUR: Multiply:
(i) the STEP TWO result; by
(ii) the STEP THREE result.
