noted.


    (a) Export warehouse proprietor. Every export warehouse proprietor 
shall pay a special (occupational) tax at a rate specified by Sec. 
44.32. The tax shall be paid on or before the date of commencing the 
business of an export warehouseman, and thereafter every year on or 
before July 1. On commencing business, the tax shall be computed from 
the first day of the month in which liability is incurred, through the 
following June 30. Thereafter, the tax shall be computed for the entire 
year (July 1 through June 30).
    (b) Transition rule. For purposes of paragraph (a) of this section, 
a proprietor engaged in the business of an export warehouseman on 
January 1, 1988, shall be treated as having commenced business on that 
date. The special tax imposed by this transition rule shall cover the 
period January 1, 1988, through June 30, 1988, and shall be paid on or 
before April 1, 1988.
    (c) Each place of business taxable. An export warehouse proprietor 
under this part incurs special tax liability at each place of business 
in which an occupation subject to special tax is conducted. A place of 
business means the entire office, plant or area of the business in any 
one location under the same proprietorship. Passageways, streets, 
highways, rail crossings, waterways, or partitions dividing the premises 
are not sufficient separation to require additional special tax, if the 
divisions of the premises are otherwise contiguous.
