A use tax, as previously generally imposed by MMC § 3.84.010, is hereby fixed and imposed upon every person or entity for the privilege of using natural gas or manufactured gas in the city of Marysville as a consumer.
(Ord. 2864 § 1, 2011)
The tax is fixed and imposed in an amount equal to the value of the article used by the consumer multiplied by the rate of five percent on that amount of gas used monthly.
The "value of the article used" shall have the meaning set forth in RCW 82.12.010(1) and does not include any amounts that are paid for the hire or use of a natural gas business in transporting the gas subject to tax under this chapter if those amounts are subject to tax under MMC § 3.64.030 or RCW 35.21.870.
(Ord. 2864 § 1, 2011)
The tax imposed under this chapter shall not apply to the use of natural or manufactured gas if the person who sold the gas to the consumer has paid a tax under MMC § 3.64.030 or RCW 35.21.870.
(Ord. 2864 § 1, 2011)
There shall be a credit against the tax levied under this chapter in an amount equal to any tax paid by:
(1) 
The person who sold the gas to the consumer when that tax is a gross receipts tax similar to that imposed pursuant to RCW 35.21.870 by another municipality or other unit of local government with respect to the gas for which a credit is sought under this subsection; or
(2) 
The person consuming the gas upon which a use tax similar to the tax imposed by this section was paid to another municipality or other unit of local government with respect to the gas for which a credit is sought under this subsection.
