The Administrator shall refund or grant credits to vendors for the amount of taxes paid illegally or erroneously or paid on any illegal or erroneous assessment where the vendor had not reimbursed himself from the transient guest. A transient guest may obtain a refund or credit for the amount of taxes paid illegally or erroneously, but only when the tax was paid by the transient guest directly to the Administrator. No refund shall be paid unless the claimant establishes his right thereto by written records showing entitlement and makes a claim in writing on forms furnished by the Administrator, stating under penalty of perjury the specific grounds on which the claim is founded. The claim shall be filed with the Administrator within three years of the date of payment.
