START_STATUTESec. 9. Refunds

A. Any claim for a refund of transaction privilege or use tax based on the retroactive application of section 41-1519, subsection O, paragraph 14, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended by this act, section 42-5061, subsection B, paragraph 22, Arizona Revised Statutes, as added by this act and section 42-5159, subsection B, paragraph 23, Arizona Revised Statutes, as added by this act, shall be submitted to the department of revenue on or before December 31, 2021, pursuant to section 42-1118, Arizona Revised Statutes, and is subject to the following:

1. A failure to file such a claim on or before December 31, 2021 constitutes a waiver of the claim for refund.

2. The aggregate refund amount may not exceed $10,000 for such claims filed from and after December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2021.

3. If the aggregate refund amount of such claims ultimately determined to be correct is more than $10,000, the department of revenue shall reduce each claim proportionately so that the total aggregate refund amount equals $10,000.

5. Any refund claim that is filed before January 1, 2021 or that is not related to the changes under this act is not subject to the $10,000 aggregate refund amount.
