Section 200. Collection by the rentor from his customer

All rentors, including out-of-state rentors and occasional rentors, must collect the 4.0% rental tax and the 4.0% additional rental tax and the 2.0% rental fee on the gross proceeds from the rental in this state of motor vehicles in accordance with 24VAC20-100-190. The 4.0% rental tax, the 4.0% additional rental tax, and the 2.0% rental fee must be collected from the rental customer, and must be separately stated as a tax and a fee and added to the rental price on the rental contract. The tax and the fee are debts from the rental customer to the rentor until paid, and are recoverable in an action at law in the same manner as other debts. It is unlawful for any rentor to advertise or to hold out to the public, directly, indirectly, or in any manner whatsoever, that the rentor will absorb any part of the rental tax or fee or in any way relieve the rental customer of the obligation to pay such tax or fee.
