For the purpose of the proper administration of this chapter and to prevent evasion of the duty to collect the taxes imposed by KRS 139.200 and 139.310, it shall be presumed that all gross receipts and all tangible personal property, digital property, and services sold by any person for delivery or access in this state are subject to the tax until the contrary is established. The burden of proving the contrary is upon the person who makes the sale of:

2. Purchased through a fully completed certificate of exemption or fully completed Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement Certificate of Exemption in accordance with KRS 139.270; or 3. Purchased according to administrative regulations promulgated by the department governing a direct pay authorization; or (b) Tangible personal property to a purchaser claiming an agriculture exemption under KRS 139.480(4) to (9), (11), (13) to (15), (23) to (30), or (33) unless the person obtains from the purchaser an agriculture exemption license number or a fully completed Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement Certificate of Exemption that contains an agriculture exemption license number in accordance with KRS 139.270;
