(D) In lieu of collecting the tax pursuant to the schedules	891
set forth in divisions (A), (B), and (C) of this section, a vendor	892
may compute the tax on each sale as follows:	893

(1) On sales of fifteen cents or less, no tax shall apply.

894

(2) On sales in excess of fifteen cents, multiply the price	895
by the aggregate rate of taxes in effect under sections 5739.02	896
and 5741.02 and sections 5739.021, 5739.023, 5739.026, 5741.021,	897
5741.022, and 5741.023 of the Revised Code. The computation shall	898
be carried out to six decimal places. If the result is a	899
fractional amount of a cent, the calculated tax shall be increased	900
to the next highest cent and that amount shall be collected by the	901
vendor.	902

(E) On and after January 1, 2006, a vendor shall compute the	903
tax on each sale by multiplying the price by the aggregate rate of	904
taxes in effect under sections 5739.02 and 5741.02, and sections	905
5739.021, 5739.023, 5739.026, 5741.021, 5741.022, and 5741.023 of	906
the Revised Code. The computation shall be carried out to three	907
decimal places. If the result is a fractional amount of a cent,	908
the calculated tax shall be rounded to a whole cent using a method	909
that rounds up to the next cent whenever the third decimal place	910
is greater than four. A vendor may elect to compute the tax due on	911
a transaction on an item or an invoice basis.	912

(F) In auditing a vendor, the tax commissioner shall consider	913
the method prescribed by this section that was used by the vendor	914
in determining and collecting the tax due under this chapter on	915
taxable transactions. If the vendor correctly collects and remits	916
the tax due under this chapter in accordance with the schedules in	917
divisions (A), (B), and (C) of this section or in accordance with	918
the computation prescribed in division (D) or (E) of this section,	919
the commissioner shall not assess any additional tax on those	920
transactions.	921

(G)(1) With respect to a sale of a fractional ownership	922
program aircraft used primarily in a fractional aircraft ownership	923
program, including all accessories attached to such aircraft, the	924
tax shall be calculated pursuant to divisions (A) to (E) of this	925
section, provided that the tax commissioner shall modify those	926
calculations so that the maximum tax on each program aircraft is	927
eight hundred dollars. In the case of a sale of a fractional	928
interest that is less than one hundred per cent of the program	929
aircraft, the tax charged on the transaction shall be eight	930
hundred dollars multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which	931
is the percentage of ownership or possession in the aircraft being	932
purchased in the transaction, and the denominator of which is one	933
hundred per cent.	934

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the	935
contrary, the tax calculated under division (G)(1) of this section	936
and paid with respect to the sale of a fractional ownership	937
program aircraft used primarily in a fractional aircraft ownership	938
program shall be credited to the general revenue fund.	939

(b) The vehicle has a maximum speed capability equal to or	946
greater than fifty-five miles per hour;	947

(c) The vehicle is propelled to a significant extent by an	948

accordance with any laws or regulations governing the purchase or	958
lease of alternative fuel or electric vehicles applicable at the	959
time of sale or lease.	960

(2)(a) Subject to the limitation in division (H)(2)(b) of	961
this section, with respect to the sale or lease of a qualified	962
plug-in electric drive vehicle, the amount of tax due under this	963
section shall equal the amount of tax calculated pursuant to	964
divisions (A) to (E) of this section subtracted by two thousand	965
dollars, provided that if the result of that calculation is less	966
than or equal to zero, no tax is due.	967

(b) If the consumer is an individual purchasing the vehicle	968
primarily for personal use, the partial exemption provided in	969
division (H)(2)(a) of this section applies to the purchase or	970
lease of only one qualified plug-in electric drive vehicle by that	971
individual in a calendar year. If the consumer is a business	972
purchasing the vehicle for use in the business, the partial	973
exemption applies to the purchase or lease of only ten qualified	974
plug-in electric drive vehicles by that business in a calendar	975
year.	976
