435.0418 Sale and Conversion of Used/New Bus to Motorhome. Where the taxpayer contracts to sell a used bus to a customer, then subsequently contracts with the customer to convert the bus into a motorhome, such contracts constitute a single integrated transaction for the sale of the converted used bus, the gross receipts from which are subject to tax. That is, tax applies to the charge made for the bus as well as to any separately-stated charges related to conversion work performed by the taxpayer. A delay in executing the contract to convert the bus into a motorhome is immaterial for sales and use tax purposes. This applies whether the taxpayer performs full conversion, partial conversion or preconversion work.
Where a customer provides the taxpayer with a new bus for conversion into a motorhome, tax applies to the entire charge made by the taxpayer for the full conversion, partial conversion, or preconversion work if the bus was purchased for the purpose of converting it into a motorhome. A new bus will be considered to have been purchased for this purpose if the contract for the conversion work is entered into within 60 days of the date the bus was first registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles. (See Annotation 435.0470.) Where a customer provides the taxpayer with a used bus for conversion, tax applies to charges for the sale of new parts and equipment whether the parts and equipment are withdrawn from inventory or fabricated by the taxpayer. However, tax does not apply to the charges for installing the property sold. 12/13/96.
