Sec. 158.057. USE TAX. (a) A use tax is imposed on the use or occupancy of a manufactured home in this state at the same rate as provided by this chapter on the initial sale of a new manufactured home.
(b) "Use" includes the exercise of any right or power over a manufactured home incident to its ownership and includes the incorporation of any manufactured home into real estate or into improvements on real estate.
(c) If a sales or use tax has previously been paid on the manufactured home in any state, credit in the amount of the tax may be taken against any use tax due on the manufactured home under this chapter. If the sales tax imposed by this chapter has previously been paid to the manufacturer, no use tax is due or payable.
(d) The person to whom or for whom the manufactured home is sold, shipped, or consigned in this state is liable for, and shall pay the use tax on 65 percent of the sales price of the manufactured home as set forth in the actual invoice, bill of sale, or other document transferring title. It is presumed that the manufactured home was sold, shipped, or consigned for use or occupancy in this state. If a manufactured home has been registered or titled in another state for a period of at least one year, as shown by a certificate or document of title, it is presumed that the manufactured home was not purchased for use in this state and no use tax is due.
