435.0000 Producing, Fabricating and Processing Property Furnished by Consumers—General Rules—Regulation 1526
Annotation 435.1730
(c) Miscellaneous Operations
435.1730 Transfer of Information from One Tape to Four Others. A firm is in the business of manufacturing and embossing credit cards for financial institutions. The information to be embossed is obtained from the financial institution on a data processing tape. Occasionally the firm's equipment cannot read the financial institution's tape because it is incompatible with the firm's equipment. In order to make it compatible with its equipment, the firm transfers the information on the tape to four tapes. In these cases, it makes a separate charge to the financial institution for "interim tape processing."
This charge is not a charge for processing customer furnished information as described in Regulation 1502 (d)(5). The contract with the financial institution is a contract to produce credit cards. The restructuring of the information is merely one step in the manufacturing process. The separately stated charge is part of the gross receipts from the manufacture of the credit cards. 5/13/93.
