1. a. The sale of a race horse through a claiming race within the State shall be subject to the sales tax imposed by section 3 of P.L.1966, c.30 (C.54:32B-3) on the sales price.
b. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection a. of this section, the purchaser of the horse in the second or a subsequent sale through a claiming race of that horse within the State during a single calendar year shall be allowed a refund on that portion of the tax paid by the purchaser on the amount of the total sales price that does not exceed the highest of any prior sales price paid for the same horse within the State during that calendar year. Such claim for refund may be made by the purchaser by filing a claim, within four years of the date of purchase, with the New Jersey Division of Taxation for a refund of that part of the sales tax paid.
If no previous purchases have been made within the calendar year, no such refund shall be allowed.
