Affidavit to Exempt from Sales and Use Tax Certain Qualifying
Purchases or Charges On or After March 1, 2016
2-16
This affidavit is to be executed to obtain certain qualifying purchases or charges exempt from sales and use tax on
or after March 1, 2016 and is only for use for a purchase in connection with a lump-sum or unit-price contract entered
into, awarded, or entered into or awarded pursuant to a bid made prior to March 1, 2016 (“Qualifying Contract”).
N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105-164.15A provides, in part, the effective date of a tax change for tangible personal property or
services “applies to amounts received for items provided on or after the effective date, except amounts received
for items provided under a lump-sum or unit-price contract entered into or awarded before the effective date or
entered into or awarded pursuant to a bid made before the effective date.”
The affidavit may be issued by a person, who meets the definition of a “real property contractor” or a “retailer-contractor” prior
to March 1, 2016, to obtain the following qualifying items or charges without payment of sales or use tax on or after March
1, 2016 to fulfill a Qualifying Contract. Check the corresponding box to indicate the purpose for issuance of this affidavit.
More than one purpose may apply.
Box 1.
Installation charges that comprise part of the sales price of tangible personal property without payment of sales
or use tax provided the retailer can separately identify the installation charges on the invoice or similar document
given to the purchaser at the time of the sale.
Box 2.
Repair, maintenance, and installation services subject to tax effective March 1, 2016 without payment of sales
or use tax. The seller of the repair, maintenance, and installation services is liable for the sales or use tax on
the purchase price of any tangible personal property used to provide the repair, maintenance, and installation
services. Where tangible property becomes a part of a building or other structure in the State and the purchaser
is a contractor or subcontractor, the contractor, the subcontractor, and the owner of the building are jointly and
severally liable for the tax. The liability of a contractor, a subcontractor, or an owner who did not purchase the
property is satisfied by receipt of an affidavit from the purchaser certifying that the tax has been paid. Where
tangible personal property does not become a part of a building or other structure, the retailer is liable for sales
and use tax due on the purchase price of tangible personal property used to provide the repair, maintenance, and
installation services.
Box 3.

is a retailer in retail trade on or after March 1, 2016, who was a “real property contractor” or a “retailer-contractor”
by definition prior to March 1, 2016. In such instance, the retailer may treat the transaction to fulfill a Qualifying
Contract as a real property contract, and the contractor, subcontractor, and the owner are jointly and severally
liable for the sales or use tax.
