Okla. Admin. Code § 710:65-19-365

Current through Vol. 42, No. 4, November 1, 2024

Section 710:65-19-365 - Extended warranty

(a) Charges for parts used to make extended warranty repairs are subject to sales tax on a withdrawal basis to the company providing the warranty service, if there is no charge to the customer for the parts. If an article purchased or acquired in trade is salvaged or 'cannibalized' for parts by the company providing the warranty service, the sale or use of such parts is subject to sales tax. In the case of the use of 'cannibalized' parts by a company providing warranty service, if there is no charge to the customer for the parts, such use is taxable as a withdrawal to the company providing the parts. Sales tax must be imposed if the customer is charged for the parts.

(b) If the agreement specifies the vendor will supply maintenance only and parts will be billed separately, the buyer will pay sales tax on the parts only. Labor charges, separately stated, are not subject to sales tax. If the charges to the customer include parts and labor, and the labor is not separately stated, the charges for labor will be considered part of gross receipts and will be taxable.

(c) If the price paid for the equipment includes an extended maintenance agreement or warranty, the buyer pays sales tax on the entire purchase price including the maintenance agreement. If the extended maintenance agreement is not included in the sales price and the buyer has an option of purchasing the agreement, the maintenance agreement is not considered to be a part of taxable gross proceeds.
