67-4-2205. Machine tax Sticker.

(a)  For the privilege of owning a bona fide coin-operated amusement machine offered for commercial use and for play by the public, there is additionally levied a machine tax of ten dollars ($10.00) for each bona fide coin-operated amusement machine. The owner shall pay the machine tax to the commissioner prior to making a machine available for commercial use and for play by the public. If, after payment of the master license tax and machine taxes, an owner obtains additional bona fide coin- operated amusement machines, the owner shall pay to the commissioner a ten dollar ($10.00) machine tax for each machine, prior to making a machine available for commercial use and for play by the public. No refund or credit of a machine tax levied in this section shall be made.

(b)  The commissioner shall issue a sticker to evidence the payment of the machine tax. The owner shall securely affix a sticker to each machine available for commercial use and for play by the public. Owners may transfer stickers from one (1) machine to another and from location to location so long as all machines in commercial use available for play by the public have a sticker and the owner uses the stickers only for machines that the owner owns.
