5. a. Gross receipts of a company making first sales of petroleum products within this State shall not include consideration derived from the first sale of petroleum products within this State sold for exportation from this State for sale or use outside this State or sales within this State between companies licensed pursuant to section 6 of P.L.1991, c.181 (C.54:15B-12).
b. Gross receipts of a company making first sales of petroleum products within this State shall not include consideration derived from the first sale of petroleum products within this State to the United States government, or to any of its departments, agencies or instrumentalities, for use in a federal government function or operation. A company making a first sale of petroleum products the gross receipts from which are exempt from tax pursuant to this subsection shall report such sales to the director at such times and in such detail as the director may require.
This exemption may be claimed by a company otherwise subject to the tax under this act at any time within two years after the date of the first sale of petroleum products within this State for which the exemption is claimed, but no claim made after the expiration of that two-year period shall be recognized for any purpose by the State or any agency thereof.
c. A company shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsection a. of section 3 of this act if a purchaser of petroleum products first sold within this State subsequently sells the petroleum products for exportation from this State for sale or use outside this State; provided:
(1)the purchaser who makes the sale for exportation from this State for sale or use outside this State issues a certification, on such form as the director may prescribe, evidencing a sale or use outside this State, and
(2)the company liable for the tax imposed under the provisions of this act has paid to the purchaser making the sale outside this State an amount equal to the tax imposed on the gross receipts derived from the first sale of petroleum products within this State to such purchaser.
d. A company shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsection b. of section 3 of this act pursuant to such form as may be required by the director if the company importing or causing to be imported petroleum products for use or consumption by it within this State subsequently exports the petroleum products for sale or use outside this State.
