(c) Whenever a county or resort district imposes an excise tax on retail sales of tangible personal property, admissions and services made within the county or resort district pursuant to article 2, chapter 15 of this title, the county or resort district shall also impose an excise tax at the same rate on sales made in the county or resort district and storage, use and consumption of tangible personal property in the county or resort district.
