435.1223 Platinum Catalyst. A refiner of petroleum products with refineries located in and outside of California sends platinum catalyst used outside of California to a processor in California for recovery and shipment of the new platinum catalyst to its California refinery.

If the platinum catalyst is received by the processor prior to the shipment of the new platinum catalyst to the California refinery, the principal contained in sections 6095 and 6245 apply. In other words, no use tax is due on the value of the platinum recovered as long as the refinery has sufficient tax paid recovered platinum inventory on hand with the platinum manufacturer to cover the amount of platinum used in the new catalyst. Only the processing charge is subject to sales tax. If there is not a sufficient amount of recovered platinum on hand, the value of any platinum added would also be subject to the sales tax. 4/22/71; 5/20/96.
