432.0000 Printed Sales Messages—Regulation 1541.5
Annotation 432.0075
432.0075 Providing Flyers and Other Services. A service organization plans to provide service to real estate agents. They requested information regarding the following services:
1. Initially "services" provided will be the creation and mailing of flyers. Other "services" such as rubber stamps, presentation folders, and copying are available. The flyers, that were reviewed, are circulars which advertise services. The true object of the contract is the brochure which is created and distributed. The transactions are retail sales of tangible personal property. The flyers qualify as "printed sales messages" and the exemption from sales tax applies if the requirements of Regulation 1541.5(b) are met.
2. As the operations continue to grow, additional services will be provided such as: liaison between lender, escrow and agent; meeting with appraisers, termite inspectors and others; clerical support; and statistical studies.
Tax would not apply to the additional services provided that tangible personal property was not sold to the clients as part of these services (e.g. sale of standard statistical reports). 3/17/92.
