N.D. Cent. Code § 57-34-04.5
A telecommunications carrier who receives a resale certificate certifying that another telecommunications carrier holds a North Dakota sales and use tax permit for sales or use tax purposes under section 57-39.2-14 is relieved from submitting the telecommunications gross receipts tax upon the sale of telecommunications services to be resold by the telecommunications carrier submitting the certificate. When a telecommunications carrier submits a false resale certificate to another telecommunications carrier, the telecommunications carrier that submitted the certificate is liable for the telecommunications gross receipts tax on the sale. A hospital, hotel, motel, or similar place of temporary accommodation selling telecommunications service to its patients or guests is not a telecommunications carrier under this section.
