If a customer believes that an amount of tax, assignment of place of primary use, or taxing jurisdiction included on a billing is erroneous, the customer shall notify the home service provider in writing. The customer shall include in this written notification the street address for the customer's place of primary use, the account name and number for which the customer seeks a correction of the tax assignment, a description of the error asserted by the customer, and any other information the home service provider reasonably requires to process the request. Within sixty days of receiving a notice, the home service provider shall review its records and the electronic database or enhanced zip code to determine the customer's taxing jurisdiction. If as a result of this review the home service provider finds that the amount of tax, assignment of place of primary use, or taxing jurisdiction is in error, the home service provider shall correct the error and refund or credit the amount of tax erroneously collected from the customer for a period of up to two years. If this review shows that the amount of tax, assignment of place of primary use, or taxing jurisdiction is correct, the home service provider shall provide a written explanation to the customer. 2. If the customer is dissatisfied with the response of the home service provider under this section, the customer may seek correction or refund from the taxing jurisdiction affected. 3. The procedure in this section is the sole and exclusive remedy available to customers seeking correction of assignment of place of primary use, taxing jurisdiction, a refund, or other compensation for taxes or fees erroneously collected by the home service provider.
