(a) If the municipality or county adopts the tax, a tax is imposed on the receipts from the sale at retail of taxable items in the municipality or county at the rate approved at the election.
(b) There is also imposed an excise tax on the use, storage, or other consumption in the municipality or county of tangible personal property purchased, leased, or rented from a retailer during the period that the tax is effective in the municipality or county.
