(a) The Tax Commissioner is required by W.Va. Code §11-15B-35 to maintain a database for all jurisdictions levying a sales or use tax in this State. The City shall furnish the Commissioner with information the Commissioner requires for that database that will allow the Commissioner a database that assigns each five-digit and nine-digit zip code within the City to the proper rate of tax. If any nine-digit zip code area includes an area outside this City, the single state and local rate assigned to that area in the Commissioner’s database will be the lowest rate applicable to that area; provided, that, when sales occur at and are sourced to a physical location of the seller located in the City in that nine-digit zip code area, the seller shall collect the tax imposed by Section 754.03.
(b) Whenever boundaries of the City change, whether by annexation or de-annexation, the Office of the Finance Director shall promptly notify the Tax Commissioner in writing of the change in boundaries and provide the Tax Commissioner with the nine-digit zip code or codes for the area annexed or de-annexed and any other information the Tax Commissioner may require to maintain the database.
