(a) In General—Definition
495.0469.175 Transfer of Artwork—External Storage Diskettes. When an artist creates artwork on a client's computer and saves the artwork into the computer's memory, the artist's charge is nontaxable. In this situation, the artist does not transfer tangible personal property to the client. The same result is not reached when the artist transfers the artwork to external storage diskettes or disks and transfers them to the client, whether the client or the artist furnishes the removable disk or diskettes. When the artist furnishes the disk or diskettes, the artist is making a sale of tangible personal property under subdivision (a) of section 6006. If the client furnishes either new or used disks or diskettes, the artist's charge for the work performed to create the artwork is a sale as defined in subdivision (b) of section 6006. The artist's charge for the sale, whether under subdivision (a) or (b) of section 6006, is subject to tax. 12/2/96.
