10-45-1.15. Conditions under which gross receipts include consideration retailer received from third parties. Gross receipts, as defined in § 10-45-1.14, include consideration received by the retailer from third parties if:

(1) The retailer actually receives consideration from a party other than the purchaser and the consideration is directly related to a price reduction or discount on the sale;

(2) The retailer has an obligation to pass the price reduction or discount through to the purchaser;

(3) The amount of the consideration attributable to the sale is fixed and determined by the retailer at the time of the sale of the item to the purchaser; and

(4) One of the following criteria is met:

(a) The purchaser presents a coupon, certificate, or other documentation to the retailer to claim a price reduction or discount where the coupon, certificate, or documentation is authorized, distributed, or granted by a third party with the understanding that the third party will reimburse any retailer to whom the coupon, certificate, or documentation is presented;

(b) The purchaser identifies himself or herself to the retailer as a member of a group or organization entitled to a price reduction or discount (a preferred customer card that is available to any patron does not constitute membership in such a group); or

(c) The price reduction or discount is identified as a third party price reduction or discount on the invoice received by the purchaser or on a coupon, certificate, or other documentation presented by the purchaser.

For the purposes of this section, the purchaser is the end consumer.
