SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The North Carolina Sales and Use Tax Act authorizes counties and
incorporated cities and towns to obtain each year from the Commissioner
of Revenue of the State of North Carolina a refund of sales and use
taxes indirectly paid on building materials, supplies, fixtures, and
equipment that become a part of or are annexed to any building or
structure in North Carolina. However, to substantiate a refund claim
for sales or use taxes paid on purchases of building materials,
supplies, fixtures, or equipment by a contractor, the Government must
secure from the contractor certified statements setting forth the cost
of the property purchased from each vendor and the amount of sales or
use taxes paid. Similar certified statements by subcontractors must be
obtained by the general contractor and furnished to the Government. The
information is used as evidence to establish exemption from State and
local taxes.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 10 minutes per response, including the time for
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information.
The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents,
106; responses per respondent, 4; total annual responses, 424;
preparation hours per response, .17; and total response burden hours,
72.
Dated: October 13, 1995.
Beverly Fayson,
FAR Secretariat.
