If the amount of sales or use tax paid to another taxing jurisdiction is less than the amount of tax imposed by this Part, then the purchaser shall pay to the State Tax Assessor an amount sufficient to make the total amount of sales and use tax paid to the other taxing jurisdiction and this State equal to the amount imposed by this Part.
