10.2.1. Subject to the third paragraph, a retail dealer who operates a fuel retail outlet on a reserve is entitled, provided the dealer makes an application to that effect in the prescribed form containing prescribed information within the time, on the conditions and in the manner prescribed by regulation, to the reimbursement of the amounts the dealer paid in a particular month under section 51.1 to a person holding a collection officer’s permit, in respect of a quantity of fuel, if the amount the dealer collected under the first paragraph of section 12 in respect of the fuel sales the dealer made in the particular month is less than the amounts so paid.
However, the amount of the reimbursement may not exceed the amount by which the amount that, but for sections 9.1 and 12.1, is the tax provided for in section 2 that should have been paid or collected, as the case may be, in accordance with this Act in respect of the total of all fuel sales made in that establishment by the retail dealer in the particular month, each of which is a sale made to a First Nations member, a band, a tribal council or a band-empowered entity in respect of which either no tax provided for in section 2 was payable, in accordance with section 9.1, or the dealer was exempt from collecting such a tax, in accordance with section 12.1, and in respect of which no such tax was actually collected, exceeds the amount equal to the tax, determined in relation to a quantity of fuel, that the holder of a collection officer’s permit is exempt from collecting, if applicable, from the retail dealer, in accordance with the sixth paragraph of section 51.1, for the particular month, in relation to that establishment.
Despite the first paragraph, a retail dealer who operates a fuel retail outlet on a reserve during a period determined by the Minister and who, throughout that period, uses the computing solution in respect of the fuel sales made in that establishment to a First Nations member, a band, a tribal council or a band-empowered entity (in this paragraph referred to as “particular sales”) is deemed, in respect of the period and the last day of the period, to apply for the reimbursement of the part of the amount paid under section 51.1 to a person holding a collection officer’s permit that is equal to the tax provided for in section 2 that has not been paid or collected because of section 9.1 or 12.1 in respect of the particular sales.
