390.0096 Nonprofit Organizations—Leases. A nonprofit organization rents beds and medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, etc., to people with HIV and AIDS. The equipment has been acquired by donation from a number of sources. Since the property was not purchased with sales tax paid and since the donor's donation is exempted from use tax by Revenue and Taxation Code section 6403, the use tax is due on the rental receipts from the leases or rentals of these beds and equipment. This tax application is correct unless the equipment qualifies as an exempt medicine pursuant to Regulation 1591(k). Contrary to common belief, there is no general exemption from the sales and use tax on sales made by nonprofit organizations. 4/22/93.
