The contention that only a rebuttable presumption was intended by the phrase “shall be deemed to be consummated at the place of business of the retailer” was rejected. The obvious purpose of the premium was to fix the taxable situs of transactions which might have a nexus with more than one municipality. City sales tax of Jefferson City, like the state sales tax, is a gross receipts tax, not a transactions tax. Mobile-Teria Catering Co., Inc. v. Spradling, 576 SW2d 282 (Mo. en banc 1978).
