Upon satisfactory proof, a tax credit is allowed beer wholesalers for beer purchased, but which cannot be sold in this state. A tax credit is allowed wholesalers on bad accounts which are charged off for income tax purposes, but a pro rata tax is again payable on any accounts subsequently collected.5. If any wholesaler makes an overpayment of taxes due, the state tax commissioner shall issue a credit applicable to future obligations or certify that amount to the office of management and budget for a refund.6. Any remittance within one dollar of the correct amount due may be accepted by the state tax commissioner as the correct amount due.
