    10-45-27.2. Any person required to file a return and remit the tax imposed by chapter 10-45, who holds a license issued pursuant to chapter 10-45, who timely files the return due, and who timely remits the tax due, is allowed, as compensation for the expense of collecting and paying the tax, a credit equal to one and one-half percent of the gross amount of the tax due.

credit directly or through the adjustment of any administrative fee charged pursuant to section 3 of this Act.
