(2) If a manufacturer’s actual tax liability under ORS 473.030 (1) is less than the amount deposited under subsection (1) of this section, the manufacturer may request that the commission refund the excess funds or may apply those funds toward the manufacturer’s tax liability under ORS 473.030 (1) for the next calendar year.

(3) If a manufacturer’s actual tax liability under ORS 473.030 (1) is greater than the amount deposited under subsection (1) of this section, the manufacturer shall pay to the commission the additional amount owed in the manner required under ORS 473.060.

(a) The licensee was not liable for a privilege tax under this chapter in the immediately preceding calendar year and does not expect to be liable for a privilege tax under this chapter in the current calendar year; or

(b) The winery was established during the current calendar year and the licensee does not expect to be liable for a privilege tax under this chapter in the current calendar year. [2005 c.632 §2; 2007 c.637 §2]
