Rule 560-12-2-.110 - Sales Tax Holidays
(1)Purpose. The purpose of this Rule is to provide guidance regarding the sales and use tax exemption for certain clothing, computers, computer components, software, school supplies, Energy Star Qualified Products, and WaterSense Products pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 48-8-3(75) and (82).

Computers, computer components, and prewritten computer software with a sales price of $1,000.00 or less per item purchased for noncommercial home or personal use are exempt if purchased within the applicable exemption period.
(a) The application of the exemption to the sale of computers, computer components, and prewritten computer software is illustrated by the following examples:
1. A customer purchases three computer cables for $45.00 each and a computer for $1,000.00. All of the items qualify for the exemption, even though the customer's total purchase price ($1,045.00) exceeds $1,000.00.

(a) The application of the exemption to the sale of school supplies during the exemption period is illustrated by the following examples:
1. A customer purchases a box of pencils for $5.00. The purchase qualifies for the exemption.
2. A customer purchases a calculator for $30.00. The purchase does not qualify for the exemption because the sales price exceeds the $20.00 sales price limit.
3. A customer purchases ten composition books for $2.50 each. The total purchase of $25.00 qualifies for the exemption because the sales price for each item does not exceed $20.00.
4. A customer purchases a box of pens for $10.00, paper for $15.00, and chalk for $3.00 and pays with a business credit card or business check. The purchase will be presumed to be purchased for commercial use and, therefore, taxable.
(b) Exempt items are listed in the definitions of "school supplies," "school art supplies," "school computer supplies," and "school instructional materials."
(c) Taxable items include but are not limited to:
1. Briefcases
2. Envelopes
3. Janitorial Supplies
4. Medical Supplies
5. Supplies purchased for a commercial use (i.e., used in a trade or business).
(7)Exemptions for Energy Star Qualified Products and WaterSense Products. Energy Star Qualified Products and WaterSense Products with a sales price of $1,500.00 or less per item purchased for noncommercial home or personal use are exempt if purchased within the applicable exemption period. The application of the exemptions to the sale of Energy Star Qualified Products and WaterSense Products during the exemption period is illustrated by the following examples:
(a) A customer purchases an air conditioner from a retail dealer. The air conditioner carries the Energy Star label and has a sales price of $1,550.00. The purchase does not qualify for the exemption because the sales price exceeds $1,500.00.
(b) A customer purchases a toilet for $800.00 and a urinal for $750.00 in a single transaction. Both products are for personal use and carry the WaterSense label. Both products qualify for the exemption since the sales price of each water efficient product is equal to or less than $1,500.00.
(c) A contractor enters into a contract to furnish and install an air conditioner for a customer for a total contract price of $1,000.00. The air conditioner carries the Energy Star label. The exemption does not apply to this transaction because this is a lump sum contract and not a retail sale of tangible personal property. The contractor is considered the consumer of the tangible personal property used in the performance of a real property construction contract. The contractor owes sales or use tax on the purchase of the air conditioner.
(d) A customer enters into a contract with a home improvement store to furnish and install a toilet for $1,000.00. The toilet carries the WaterSense label. The exemption does not apply to this transaction, as the home improvement store is acting as a contractor and is therefore the consumer of tangible personal property (i.e., the toilet) in the performance of a real property construction contract.
(e) A customer purchases for personal use a door for $500.00 and five windows for $250.00 each at a home improvement store. The customer takes possession of the products at the time of purchase and does not enter into an installation contract with the home improvement store. The door and windows carry the Energy Star label. The door and windows qualify for the exemption since the sales price of each energy efficient product is equal to or less than $1,500.00. Note: the customer did not enter into an installation contract, contrary to the facts in the previous example.
(f) Assume the same facts as the previous example. After purchasing the items tax exempt, the customer provides them to a contractor to install in the customer's home. Pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 48-8-63(c), the contractor owes use tax on the fair market value of the items.
(8) Sales price limits.
(a) Articles normally sold as a unit. Articles normally sold as a unit may not be priced separately and sold as individual items in order to meet the sales price limit. The following examples illustrate the application of the rule to the exemption:
1. A pair of shoes sells for $200.00. The pair of shoes cannot be split in order to sell each shoe for $100.00 to qualify for the exemption.
2. A suit is normally priced at $300.00. The suit cannot be split into a coat and slacks so that one of the articles may be sold for $100.00 or less to meet the sales price limit. However, articles that are normally sold as separate articles, such as a sport coat and slacks, may continue to be sold as separate articles and qualify for the exemption.
3. A packaged gift set consisting of a wallet (ineligible item) and tie (covered item) does not qualify for the exemption.
(b) "Buy one, get one free" and other similar offers. If a dealer offers "buy one, get one free" or "two for the price of one" on covered items, the covered items are exempt only if the sales price falls within the sales price limit during the exemption period. If a dealer offers "buy one, get one for a reduced price," the two prices cannot be averaged to meet the sale price limit.

The following examples illustrate the application of this rule to the exemption:

1. A dealer offers "buy one, get one free" on a pair of shoes. The first pair of shoes has a sales price of $99.00 and the second pair is free. Both pairs of shoes qualify for the exemption because the first pair of shoes does not exceed the $100.00 sales price limit.
2. A dealer offers "buy one, get one free" on a pair of shoes. The first pair of shoes has a sales price of $150.00 and the second pair is free. The transaction does not qualify for the exemption because the first pair of shoes exceeds the $100.00 sales price limit.
3. A coat is purchased for $120.00 and a second coat is purchased for half price ($60.00) at the time the first coat is purchased. The second coat will qualify for the exemption, but tax will be due on the first coat. In this example, the sales price of the items may not be averaged in order to qualify for the exemption.
(c) Discounts, coupons, and rebates. The application of the exemption to discounts, coupons, and rebates extended to a covered item during the exemption period is illustrated by the following examples:
1. Dealer discounts taken by the customer at the time of sale reduce the sales price of items for purposes of determining whether the sales price falls within the sales price limit. For example, during the exemption period, if a dealer sells a pair of jeans with a sales price of $110.00 at a 10 percent discount, the exemption applies because the actual sales price of the jeans is $99.00.
2. Store coupons used at the time of sale reduce the sales price for purposes of determining whether a covered item qualifies for the exemption. For example, during the exemption period, if a dealer offers a reduction in sales price of $5.00 through a store coupon for a coat with a sales price of $105.00, the exemption applies to the purchase because the dealer's actual sales price to the customer is $100.00.
3. Manufacturers' coupons (i.e., coupons whereby the manufacturer reimburses the dealer the amount discounted by the coupon) do not reduce the sales price for purposes of determining whether the item meets the sales price limit. For example, if a customer gives a dealer a manufacturer's coupon for $100.00 toward the purchase of a computer with a sales price of $1,100.00, the exemption does not apply because the $1,100.00 price exceeds the sales price limit.
4. Rebates to the customer made after the point of sale do not reduce the sales price of the purchased item for purposes of determining whether or not an item is taxable. For example, a customer purchases a pair of jeans for $110.00. After the sale the customer receives a $10.00 rebate. The exemption does not apply because the sales price exceeds $100.00.
5. An "instant rebate" that is actually a store discount reduces the sales price for purposes of determining whether or not the item qualifies for the exemption.
6. If a discount applies to the total amount paid by a purchaser rather than to the sales price of a particular item and the purchaser has purchased covered items and taxable property, the seller should allocate the discount based on the total sales price of the taxable property compared to the total sales price of all property sold in that same transaction. For example, a purchaser buys a pair of jeans for $110.00 and an umbrella for $20.00 with a store coupon for 20 percent off the total sale. After the discount, the jeans are exempt because they cost $88.00.
(d) Gift certificates and gift cards. A gift certificate or gift card cannot be used to reduce the selling price of a covered item to meet the sales price limit. For example, a purchaser uses a $50.00 gift card to buy a computer with a sales price of $1,025.00. The computer is not exempt because it exceeds the $1,000.00 sales price limit.
(e) Delivery charges. Delivery charges are not included in the purchase price for purposes of determining whether an item falls within the sales price limit. For example, an article of clothing is purchased for $99.00, and a shipping charge of $2.00 is imposed. The clothing is eligible property because the sales price is below the sales price limit.
(9) Timing rules. Eligible property is exempt if the purchaser pays in full during the exemption period, regardless of when the customer places the order, when the seller accepts the order, when the seller completes the electronic payment transaction, or when the order is delivered.
(a) Electronic payments. For purposes of this Rule, a purchaser using an electronic payment method, such as a debit card or a credit card, tenders payment at the time when the purchaser provides the seller with the purchaser's payment information. The following examples illustrate the rules pertaining to electronic payment transactions:
1. A customer places an order and gives the seller the customer's credit card information during the exemption period for the purchase of eligible property. The seller charges the credit card and ships the item after the exemption period. The item qualifies for exemption.
2. A customer places an order and gives the seller the customer's credit card information before the exemption period for the purchase of eligible property. The seller charges the credit card and ships the item during the exemption period. The item is not exempt because payment was not tendered during the exemption period.
(b) Layaway sales. A sale of eligible property under a layaway sale qualifies for exemption ifthe purchaser makes the final payment during the exemption period even if delivery is made after the exemption period.
1. A customer places eligible property on layaway during the exemption period. The customer makes final payment after the exemption period. The exemption does not apply.
2. A customer places eligible property on layaway before the exemption period and makes the final payment during the exemption period. The entire purchase price of the property is exempt because the customer paid in full during the exemption period. The exemption applies even if the customer retrieves the property after the exemption period.
(c) Rental property. Recurring periodic rental payments are not exempt even if made during the exemption period. A full payment for the rental of eligible property is exempt if made during the exemption period. The following examples illustrate the tax treatment of rental charges during the exemption period:
1. A customer pays in full during the clothing sales tax holiday exemption period for the rental of a tuxedo. The rental charge is exempt from sales tax.
2. A customer pays monthly for the rental of an air conditioning unit. He makes one of his payments during the Energy Star sales tax holiday exemption period. The sales tax holiday exemption does not apply to the payment; thus, he must pay tax on the rental payment unless another exemption applies.
(d) Exchanges. The application of the exemption to an exchange (i.e., wherein a purchaser returns an item and receives a credit toward the purchase of a new item) of eligible property is illustrated by the following examples:
1. A customer purchases eligible property during the exemption period, but later exchanges the item for a product with the same price. No additional tax is due, even though the exchange is made after the exemption period, because the credit on the exchange reduces the sales price to zero.
2. A customer purchases eligible property during the exemption period. After the exemption period has ended, the customer exchanges the product for a product with a higher price. Sales tax is due on the difference between the price of the newly purchased item and the price of the returned item.
3. If a customer purchases eligible property before the exemption period, but during the exemption period the customer returns the item and receives credit toward the purchase of a different item of eligible property, sales tax paid on the returned item must be refunded to the customer.
(e) Gift certificates and gift cards. Eligible property purchased during the exemption period using a gift certificate or gift card is exempt, regardless of when the gift certificate or gift card was purchased. Covered items purchased after the exemption period using a gift certificate or gift card are taxable even if the gift certificate or gift card was purchased during the exemption period.
(f) Rain checks. A rain check allows a customer to purchase an item at a certain price at a later time because the particular item is out of stock. Eligible property purchased during the exemption period using a previously issued rain check qualifies for the exemption. However, a rain check issued during the exemption period will not qualify eligible property for the exemption if the property is purchased after the exemption period.
(g) Different time zones. The time zone of the seller's location determines the authorized time period for a sales tax holiday.
(10) Records.
(a) Dealer records. Dealers are not required to obtain an exemption certificate for sales of eligible property during the exemption period. However, a dealer's records should clearly identify the type of item sold, the date on which the item was sold, the sales price of all items, and any tax charged.
(b) Customer receipts for refunds. For the period of 60 calendar days following the last day of the exemption period, when a customer returns an item that would qualify for the exemption, no refund of tax may be given unless the customer provides a receipt or invoice showing tax was paid or the dealer has sufficient documentation to show that tax was paid on the specific covered item. This 60-day period is set solely for the purpose of designating a time period during which the customer must provide documentation that shows that sales tax was paid on returned merchandise. The 60-day period is not intended to change a seller's policy on the time period during which the seller will accept returns.
(11) Calculation of tax on delivery charges.
(a) Delivery charges associated with taxable sales are taxable regardless of whether the charge is optional (i.e., not required to complete the underlying sale of the tangible personal property) or separately stated.
(b) Delivery charges associated with nontaxable sales are not taxable.
(c) If a shipment includes exempt item(s) and taxable property (including an otherwise eligible item with a sales price in excess of the price limit), the seller must tax the percentage of the delivery charge allocated to the taxable property but does not have to tax the percentage allocated to the eligible property. To determine the taxable portion of the delivery charge, the seller should allocate the delivery charge by using:
1. a percentage based on the total sales prices of the taxable property compared to the total sales prices of all property in the shipment; or
2. a percentage based on the total weight of the taxable property compared to the total weight of all property in the shipment.

For example, two articles of clothing are purchased - one for $110.00 and one for $99.00. The seller charges a $5.00 shipping fee. The $99.00 item qualifies for the exemption. Since the $110.00 item exceeds the sales price limit, it is taxable. The total sales price of the two items, without taking into account the shipping fee, is $209.00. 53 percent of that amount represents taxable items; therefore, 53 percent of the shipping fee ($2.65) is taxable.

(12) Reporting Exempt Sales. No special reporting procedures are necessary. Exempt sales on eligible items made during the exemption period must be reported as non-taxable sales.
