A dealer who has paid the sales tax on tangible personal property sold under a retained title, conditional sale or similar contract, and later repossesses the property, may deduct from gross sales the unpaid balance of the sales price due him at the time he repossesses the property. The deduction should be taken in the appropriate place on the sales tax return covering the period in which the property is repossessed. Adequate records must be kept to disclose the essential facts and figures regarding repossessed goods. When any repossessed tangible personal property is resold, the sale is subject to the sales tax.
