(a) An excise tax may be imposed by the Greene County Commission on the storage, use, or other consumption in Greene County of tangible personal property purchased at retail on or after September 13, 1977, for storage, use, or other consumption in such county at the rate of one percent of the sales price of such property, except as otherwise provided as follows:

(b) An excise tax may be imposed by the Greene County Commission on the storage, use, or other consumption in Greene County of any automotive vehicle, truck trailer, semi-trailer, or house trailer, purchased at retail on or after September 13, 1977 for storage, use, or other consumption in Greene County, at the rate of three-eighths of one percent of the sales price of such automotive vehicle, truck trailer, semi-trailer, or house trailer.

(c) Every person, storing, using, or otherwise consuming in Greene County any tangible personal property purchased at retail shall be liable for the tax imposed by subsection (a) or (b), and the liability shall not be extinguished until the tax has been paid; provided, however, that a receipt from a retailer maintaining a place of business in the county showing the payment of the tax shall be sufficient to relieve the purchaser from further liability for a tax to which such receipt may refer.
