-STATUTE-

(a) Tax on sale

(1) In general

There is hereby imposed a tax on the sale of aviation fuel by

the producer or the importer thereof or by any producer of

aviation fuel.

(2) Use treated as sale

For purposes of paragraph (1), if any producer uses aviation

fuel (other than for a nontaxable use as defined in section

6427(l)(2)(B)) on which no tax has been imposed under such

paragraph or on which tax has been credited or refunded, then

such use shall be considered a sale.

(b) Rate of tax

(1) In general

The rate of the tax imposed by subsection (a) shall be 21.8

cents per gallon.

(2) Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund tax

The rate of tax specified in paragraph (1) shall be increased

by 0.1 cent per gallon. The increase in tax under this paragraph

shall in this title be referred to as the Leaking Underground

Storage Tank Trust Fund financing rate.

(3) Termination

(A) The rate of tax specified in paragraph (1) shall be 4.3

cents per gallon -

(i) after December 31, 1996, and before the date which is 7

days after the date of the enactment of the Airport and Airway

Trust Fund Tax Reinstatement Act of 1997, and

(ii) after September 30, 2007.

(B) The Leaking Underground Storage Tank Fund financing rate

shall not apply during any period during which the Leaking

Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund financing rate under section

4081 does not apply.

(c) Reduced rate of tax for aviation fuel in alcohol mixture, etc.

Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary -

(1) In general

The rate of tax under subsection (a) shall be reduced by the

applicable blender amount per gallon in the case of the sale of

any mixture of aviation fuel if -

(A) at least 10 percent of such mixture consists of alcohol

(as defined in section 4081(c)(3)), and

(B) the aviation fuel in such mixture was not taxed under

paragraph (2).

In the case of such a mixture none of the alcohol in which is

ethanol, the preceding sentence shall be applied by substituting

"14 cents" for "the applicable blender amount". For purposes of

this paragraph, the term "applicable blender amount" means 13.3

cents in the case of any sale or use during 2001 or 2002, 13.2

cents in the case of any sale or use during 2003 or 2004, 13.1

cents in the case of any sale or use during 2005, 2006, or 2007,

and 13.4 cents in the case of any sale or use during 2008 or

thereafter.

(2) Tax prior to mixing

In the case of the sale of aviation fuel for use (at the time

of such sale) in producing a mixture described in paragraph (1),

the rate of tax under subsection (a) shall be 10/9 of the rate

which would (but for this paragraph) have been applicable to such

mixture had such mixture been created prior to such sale.

(3) Later separation

If any person separates the aviation fuel from a mixture of the

aviation fuel and alcohol on which tax was imposed under

subsection (a) at a rate determined under paragraph (1) or (2)

(or with respect to which a credit or payment was allowed or made

by reason of section 6427(f)(1)), such person shall be treated as

the producer of such aviation fuel. The amount of tax imposed on

any sale of such aviation fuel by such person shall be reduced by

the amount of tax imposed (and not credited or refunded) on any

prior sale of such fuel.

(4) Limitation

In no event shall any rate determined under paragraph (1) be

less than 4.3 cents per gallon.

(5) Termination

Paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply to any sale after

September 30, 2007.

(d) Refund of tax-paid aviation fuel to registered producer of fuel

If -

(1) a producer of aviation fuel is registered under section

4101, and

(2) such producer establishes to the satisfaction of the

Secretary that a prior tax was paid (and not credited or

refunded) on aviation fuel held by such producer,

then an amount equal to the tax so paid shall be allowed as a

refund (without interest) to such producer in the same manner as if

it were an overpayment of tax imposed by this section.

Sec. 4216. Definition of price

-STATUTE-

(a) Containers, packing and transportation charges.

In determining, for the purposes of this chapter, the price for

which an article is sold, there shall be included any charge for

coverings and containers of whatever nature, and any charge

incident to placing the article in condition packed ready for

shipment, but there shall be excluded the amount of tax imposed by

this chapter, whether or not stated as a separate charge. A

transportation, delivery, insurance, installation, or other charge

(not required by the foregoing sentence to be included) shall be

excluded from the price only if the amount thereof is established

to the satisfaction of the Secretary in accordance with the

regulations.

(b) Constructive sale price

(1) In general

If an article is -

(A) sold at retail,

(B) sold on consignment, or

(C) sold (otherwise than through an arm's length transaction)

at less than the fair market price,

the tax under this chapter shall (if based on the price for which

the article is sold) be computed on the price for which such

articles are sold, in the ordinary course of trade, by

manufacturers or producers thereof, as determined by the

Secretary. In the case of an article sold at retail, the

computation under the preceding sentence shall be on whichever of

the following prices is the lower: (i) the price for which such

article is sold, or (ii) the highest price for which such

articles are sold to wholesale distributors, in the ordinary

course of trade, by manufacturers or producers thereof, as

determined by the Secretary. This paragraph shall not apply if

paragraph (2) applies.

(2) Special rule

If an article is sold at retail or to a retailer, and if -

(A) the manufacturer, producer, or importer of such article

regularly sells such articles at retail or to retailers, as the

case may be,

(B) the manufacturer, producer, or importer of such article

regularly sells such articles to one or more wholesale

distributors in arm's length transactions and he establishes

that his prices in such cases are determined without regard to

any tax benefit under this paragraph, and

(C) the transaction is an arm's length transaction,

the tax under this chapter shall (if based on the price for which

the article is sold) be computed on whichever of the following

prices is the lower: (i) the price for which such article is

sold, or (ii) the highest price for which such articles are sold

by such manufacturer, producer, or importer to wholesale

distributors (other than special dealers).

(3) Constructive sale price in case of certain articles

Except as provided in paragraph (4), for purposes of paragraph

(1), if -

(A) the manufacturer, producer, or importer of an article

regularly sells such article to a distributor which is a member

of the same affiliated group of corporations (as defined in

section 1504(a)) as the manufacturer, producer, or importer,

and

(B) such distributor regularly sells such article to one or

more independent retailers, but does not regularly sell to

wholesale distributors,

the constructive sale price of such article shall be 90 percent

of the lowest price for which such distributor regularly sells

such article in arm's-length transactions to such independent

retailers. The price determined under this paragraph shall not be

adjusted for any exclusion (except for the tax imposed on such

article) or readjustments under subsections (a) and (e) and under

section 6416(b)(1). If both this paragraph and paragraph (4)

apply with respect to an article, the constructive sale price for

such article shall be the lower of the constructive sale price

determined under this paragraph or paragraph (4).

(4) Constructive sale price in case of certain other articles

For purposes of paragraph (1), if -

(A) the manufacturer, producer, or importer of an article

regularly sells (except for tax-free sales) only to a

distributor which is a member of the same affiliated group of

corporations (as defined in section 1504(a)) as the

manufacturer, producer, or importer,

(B) the distributor regularly sells (except for tax-free

sales) such article only to retailers, and

(C) the normal method of sales for such articles within the

industry by manufacturers, producers, or importers is to sell

such articles in arm's-length transactions to distributors,

the constructive sale price for such article shall be the price

at which such article is sold to retailers by the distributor,

reduced by a percentage of such price equal to the percentage

which (i) the difference between the price for which comparable

articles are sold to wholesale distributors, in the ordinary

course of trade, by manufacturers or producers thereof, and the

price at which such wholesale distributors in arm's-length

transactions sell such comparable articles to retailers, is of

(ii) the price at which such wholesale distributors in

arm's-length transactions sell such comparable articles to

retailers. The price determined under this paragraph shall not be

adjusted for any exclusion (except for the tax imposed on such

article) or readjustment under subsections (a) and (e) and under

section 6416(b)(1).

(5) Definition of lowest price

For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (3), the lowest price shall

be determined -

(A) without requiring that any given percentage of sales be

made at that price, and

(B) without including any fixed amount to which the purchaser

has a right as a result of contractual arrangements existing at

the time of the sale.

(c) Partial payments

In the case of -

(1) a lease (other than a lease to which section 4217(b)

provided that the price shall be paid by installments and title

to the article sold does not pass until a future date

notwithstanding partial payment by installments,

(3) a conditional sale, or

(4) a chattel mortgage arrangement wherein it is provided that

the sales price shall be paid in installments,

there shall be paid upon each payment with respect to the article a

percentage of such payment equal to the rate of tax in effect on

the date such payment is due.

(d) Sales of installment accounts

If installment accounts, with respect to payments on which tax is

being computed as provided in subsection (c), are sold or otherwise

disposed of, then subsection (c) shall not apply with respect to

any subsequent payments on such accounts (other than subsequent

payments on returned accounts with respect to which credit or

refund is allowable by reason of section 6416(b)(5)), but instead -

(1) there shall be paid an amount equal to the difference

between (A) the tax previously paid on the payments on such

installment accounts, and (B) the total tax which would be

payable if such installment accounts had not been sold or

otherwise disposed of (computed as provided in subsection (c));

except that

(2) if any such sale is pursuant to the order of, or subject to

the approval of, a court of competent jurisdiction in a

bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, the amount computed under

paragraph (1) shall not exceed the sum of the amounts computed by

multiplying (A) the proportionate share of the amount for which

such accounts are sold which is allocable to each unpaid

installment payment by (B) the rate of tax under this chapter in

effect on the date such unpaid installment payment is or was due.

The sum of the amounts payable under this subsection and subsection

(c) in respect of the sale of any article shall not exceed the

total tax.

(e) Exclusion of local advertising charge from sale price

(1) Exclusion

In determining, for purposes of this chapter, the price for

which an article is sold, there shall be excluded a charge for

local advertising (as defined in paragraph (4)) to the extent

that such charge -

(A) does not exceed 5 percent of the price for which the

article is sold (as determined under this section by excluding

any charge for local advertising),

(B) is a separate charge made when the article is sold, and

(C) is intended to be refunded to the purchaser or any

subsequent vendee in reimbursement of costs incurred for local

advertising.

In the case of any such charge (or portion thereof) which is not

so refunded before the first day of the fifth calendar month

following the calendar year during which the article was sold,

the exclusion provided by the preceding sentence shall cease to

apply as of such first day.

(2) Aggregate amount which may be excluded

In the case of articles upon the sale of which tax was imposed

under the same section of this chapter -

(A) The sum of (i) the aggregate of the charges for local

advertising excluded under paragraph (1), plus (ii) the

aggregate of the readjustments for local advertising under

section 6416(b)(1) (relating to credits or refunds for price

readjustments), shall not exceed

(B) 5 percent of the aggregate of the prices (determined

under this section by excluding all charges for local

advertising) at which such articles were sold in sales on which

tax was imposed by such section of this chapter.

The preceding sentence shall be applied to each manufacturer,

producer, and importer as of the close of each calendar quarter,

taking into account the items specified in subparagraphs (A) and

(B) for such calendar quarter and preceding calendar quarters in

the same calendar year.

(3) No adjustment for other advertising charges

Except to the extent provided by paragraphs (1) and (2), no

charge or expenditure for advertising shall serve, for purposes

of this section or section 6416(b)(1), as the basis for an

exclusion from, or as a readjustment of, the price of any

article.

(4) Local advertising defined

For purposes of this section and section 6416(b)(1), the term

"local advertising" means only advertising which -

(A) is initiated or obtained by the purchaser or any

subsequent vendee,

(B) names the article for which the price is determinable

under this section and states the location at which such

article may be purchased at retail, and

(C) is broadcast over a radio station or television station,

appears in a newspaper or magazine, or is displayed by means of

an outdoor advertising sign or poster.

In the case of a lease described in paragraph (1)(A) -

the total gas guzzler tax is payable, no tax shall be imposed

under section 4064 on such sale or disposition.
