A licensed distributor who removes fuel from a terminal or refinery who remits the tax through the supplier or permissive supplier, acting as a trustee, may make an election as to the timing of the remittance. At the election of a licensed distributor, which notice shall be evidenced by a written statement from the director as to the purchaser’s eligibility status as determined pursuant to section 22 of P.L.2010, c.22 (C. 54:39-122), the supplier or permissive supplier shall not require a payment of motor fuel tax on fuel transportation vehicle loads from the licensed distributor sooner than two business days prior to the date on which the tax is required to be remitted by the supplier pursuant to section 19 of P.L.2010, c.22 (C. 54:39-119). This election shall be subject to a condition that the remittances by the licensed distributor of tax due the supplier or permissive supplier shall be paid by electronic funds transfer.
