Sales and Use Taxes: Construction Contractors and Manufacturers
Author: John C. Healy, MST, CPA, Michael S. Schadewald, PhD, CPA

Description:
This course discusses sales and use tax liabilities and exemptions related to construction contractors and manufacturers.

Generally, contractors can act as either retailers or consumers, depending on the nature of the work involved in a particular project. This course explains how these varying roles affect sales and use tax liability and how contractors can avoid incurring unnecessary or unwarranted tax liabilities that cannot be passed along to their customers.

State statutes often grant sales and use tax exemptions or reduced rates for manufacturing machinery and equipment as an incentive for manufacturers to relocate to, expand in, or remain in a state.

This course explores available exemptions for manufacturing equipment and the requirements for eligibility. It also discusses the treatment of materials and labor used in the production process and the tax implications of inventory withdrawals.
