A. A distributor shall remit tax due on motor fuel removed at a terminal rack to
the supplier of the fuel. A licensed distributor shall not be required to remit
the tax to the supplier until the date the supplier is required to pay the tax
to the Commonwealth or to another state. All tax payments received by a supplier
shall be held in trust by the supplier until the supplier remits the tax payment
to the Commonwealth or to another state, and the supplier shall constitute the
trustee for such tax payments. The date by which an unlicensed distributor is
required to remit the tax to a supplier shall be governed by agreement between
the supplier and the unlicensed distributor.

B. A licensed exporter shall remit tax due on motor fuel removed at a terminal
rack to the supplier of the fuel. The date by which an exporter shall remit tax
shall be governed by the law of the destination state of the exported motor
fuel.

rack of a permissive or an elective supplier to the supplier of the fuel. A
licensed importer who removes fuel from a terminal rack of a permissive or an
elective supplier shall not be required to remit the tax to the supplier until
the date the supplier is required to pay the tax to the Commonwealth.

D. The license of a licensed distributor, exporter or importer who fails to pay
the full amount of tax required by this chapter is subject to cancellation as
provided in &#xA7; 58.1-2215.
