The base rate will be set after the base rate has been established for Model 1. This allowance will be in addition to any discount afforded by each member state at the time.

(B) The member states anticipate a monetary allowance to a Model 2 Seller based on the following:

(1) For a period not to exceed twenty-four months following a voluntary seller’s registration through the Agreement’s central registration process, a percentage of tax revenue generated for a member state by the voluntary seller for each member state for which the seller does not have a requirement to register to collect the tax.

(2) Following the conclusion of the twenty-four month period, a seller will only be entitled to a vendor discount afforded under each member state’s law at the time the base rate expires.
