Every distributor desiring to purchase tax stamps or meter register settings on the deferred payment basis shall request the board to set the maximum amount of such purchases the distributor may have unpaid at any time and the amount of the required security.
The board shall set the amounts and notify the distributor by mail of the maximum amount of deferred payment purchases that the distributor may have unpaid at any time and the amount of the required security. The maximum amount of tax stamps or meter register setting purchases for which the distributor may defer payment as determined by the board shall not exceed twice the distributor's average monthly tax liability, based on the distributor's previous six months' experience, or in the case of a distributor not previously authorized to make deferred payment purchases or a distributor the character of whose business has changed substantially, the maximum amount shall not exceed twice the estimated average monthly tax liability as determined by the board.
The distributor shall provide to the board a surety bond or deposit in lieu of security in an amount equal to not less than 70 percent of the maximum amount, or more than twice the amount, of deferred payment purchases the distributor may have unpaid at any time as determined by the board.
If the distributor elects, under Section 30168, to make payments on a twice-monthly basis, the distributor shall provide to the board a surety bond or deposit in lieu of security in an amount equal to not less than 50 percent of the maximum amount, or more than twice the amount, of deferred payment purchases the distributor may have unpaid at any time as determined by the board.
