1. All applicable provisions contained in sections 144.010 to 144.510 governing the state sales tax and section 32.057, the uniform confidentiality provision, shall apply to the collection of the tax imposed by sections 92.325 to 92.340, except as modified in sections 92.325 to 92.340.
2. All exemptions granted to agencies of government, organizations, persons and to the sale of certain articles and items of tangible personal property and taxable services under the provisions of sections 144.010 to 144.510 are hereby made applicable to the imposition and collection of the tax imposed by sections 92.325 to 92.340. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, the governing body of any city that imposes a convention and tourism tax pursuant to sections 92.325 to 92.340 may pass an ordinance and seek voter approval to collect the tax from certain transient guests who are otherwise exempt under this subsection. Such proposition shall be submitted to the voters at a citywide general or primary election or at a special election called for that purpose. It shall be submitted in a form set by the governing body.
3. Except as provided in subsection 2 of this section, the same sales tax permit, exemption certificate and retail certificate required by sections 144.010 to 144.510 for the administration and collection of the state sales tax shall satisfy the requirements of sections 92.325 to 92.340, and no additional permit or exemption certificate or retail certificate shall be required; except that the director of revenue may prescribe a form of exemption certificate for an exemption from the tax imposed by sections 92.325 to 92.340.
4. The person, firm or corporation subject to any tax imposed pursuant to sections 92.325 to 92.340 shall collect the tax from the transient guests and patrons of the food establishment and each such transient guest and patron of the food establishment shall pay the amount of the tax due to the person, firm or corporation required to collect the tax. The city shall permit the person required to remit the tax to deduct and retain an amount equal to two percent of the taxes collected. The city governing body may either require the license collector of the city to collect the tax imposed by sections 92.325 to 92.340 or may enter into an agreement with the director of revenue to have the director collect such tax on behalf of the city. In the event such an agreement is entered into, the director of revenue shall perform all functions incident to the collection, enforcement and operation of such tax, and the director shall collect the tax on behalf of the city and shall transfer the funds collected to the city license collector, except for an amount not less than one percent nor more than three percent, which shall be retained by the director for costs of collection. If the director of revenue is to collect such tax, the tax shall be collected and reported upon such forms and under such administrative rules and regulations as the director may prescribe. All refunds and penalties as provided in sections 144.010 to 144.525 are hereby made applicable to violations of sections 92.325 to 92.340.
