The contractor has or will obtain a Limited Sales, Excise or Use Tax Permit, as provided by Texas law and regulation.

If the contractor awards any subcontract of $10,000 or more under this contract, such subcontract(s) shall contain separate amounts applicable to the performance of services and the furnishing of materials.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this contract, the contract price does not include any amount for Texas Limited Sales, Excise or Use Tax on Materials to be incorporated by the Contractor (or subcontractors in compliance with the above) into the structure or improvement of real estate.

cedures may also be followed in the fixed-price procurement of repairs to personal property where performance will occur in Nebraska and the contracting officer is satisfied that a significant saving will accrue to the Government.

(b) The following statement will be included in Invitations for Bids or Requests for Proposals:

(1) The contract to be awarded will be a (construction) (repair) contract which separately states amounts applicable to the performance of services and the furnishing of materials as contemplated in section 2(3) of the Nebraska Revenue Act of 1967 and Rule TC-1-17 of the Nebraska State Tax Commission, dated June 1, 1967.

NEBRASKA SALES AND USE TAX

a. This contract is a (construction) (repair) contract which contains separate amounts applicable to the performance or services and the furnishing of materials as defined in section 2(3) of the Nebraska Revenue Act of 1967.

b. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this contract, the contract price does not include any amount for Nebraska Sales/Use Tax on materials to be incorporated by the contractor or any subcontractor. The Government agrees to furnish to the contractor, upon request, appropriate tax exemption certificates. In the event the contractor is required to pay or bear the burden of the excluded tax, by reason of failure to furnish exemption certificates, or otherwise, without fault of the contractor, the contract price will be correspondingly increased.

c. If the bids or proposals preceding this contract were initially solicited on a lumpsum basis, the subsequent breakdown of prices according to materials and services will have been for the sole purpose of complying with the Nebraska Revenue Act of 1967 and shall have no other significance.

d. Any subcontracts awarded hereunder shall likewise contain separate amounts applicable to the performance of services and the furnishing of materials.

(e) Modification of such contracts should, where appropriate, similarly indicate separate amounts applicable to materials and services and the exclusion of the tax.

§ 1011.353 New York state sales and use tax-fixed price construction

contracts.

(a) A construction contractor may purchase materials free of New York Sales and Use Tax if his contract (or subcontract) is for repair of real property. If sale of the repairs is made to the Government, such sale, including charges for material and labor, would also constitute an exempt transaction. This is in contrast to a capital improvement contract where the contractor is classified as a taxable consumer of the materials used in construction. Use of the clause in paragraph (c) of this section will assure that bidders do not include inapplicable New York sales or use taxes in their bids on fixed price contracts for repair of real property.

(b) Procurement personnel should coordinate with the local staff judge advo

cate in determining whether a contemplated construction project is for repair or capital improvement of real property. Repairs are usually incidental to continued use of the structure and intended to keep it in an efficient operating condition, while capital improvements materially add to the value of the real property, materially prolong its life, or adapt it to a new and different use.

(c) The following clause will be included in IFB's, RFP's, RFQ's, resultant fixed price contracts for repair projects to be performed in the State of New York:

NEW YORK STATE AND LOCAL SALES AND USE TAXES REPAIR PROJECT

Work called for by Items of this contract (IFB, RFP, RFQ) is considered to be in the nature of repairs to real property. Since the New York State Sales and Use Tax Law exempts such projects when purchased by the Federal Government (sec. 116(a), New York Sales/Use Tax Law), no sales or use taxes should be paid by the contractor on either materials purchased for incorporation into the project or services rendered in fulfillment thereof. However, the contractor is subject to sales or use taxes on equipment, tools, and supplies rented or purchased for the project but not incorporated therein. The contractor therefore certifies that purchases of the type mentioned in the preceding sentence have been included in the contract price.

If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the contractor is required to pay or bear the burden for New York State and local sales or use taxes on materials incorporated or services rendered in fulfillment of this project, including any interest or penalty incurred thereon, the contract price shall be correspondingly adjusted to cover same: Provided, That such taxes, interest or penalty were not incurred through the fault or negligence of the contractor or his failure to follow the instructions of the Contracting Officer. The contract price shall be correspondingly decreased, if following an adjustment under this clause, the contractor obtains a credit, refund or drawback of such taxes, interest or penalty. The contract price shall be similarly decreased if the contractor, through his fault or negligence of failure to follow the instructions of the Contracting Officer does not obtain a refund, credit or drawback of such taxes, interest or penalty. Interest paid or credited to the Contractor incident to a refund of such taxes shall inure to the benefit of the Government to the extent that such interest was earned after the Contractor was paid or reimbursed by the Government for such taxes.

The contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer of any matter which may result in a price adjustment under this clause, and shall take action as directed by

the Contracting Officer. The contract price shall be equitably adjusted to cover the costs of such action, including interest, penalties, and reasonable attorneys' fees.

(d) Cost type and time and materials contracts: Under a cost type or time and materials contract, title to direct materials vests in the Government prior to use or consumption by the contractor. The Government's acquisition of title should therefore be treated as an exempt retail sale of such materials, whether or not physically incorporated into the construction. Under such contracts, neither the contractor's purchase of direct materials nor the sale of the construction to the Government, whether in the nature of repairs or capital improvements, would be taxable.

§ 1011.354 Los Angeles City License Tax.

(a) Instructions to contractors. It is the intention of the military departments to challenge the validity of the Los Angeles City License Tax as it is currently being applied to contractors and subcontractors selling manufactured end items directly or indirectly to the Government under fixed-price contracts and cost-type contracts. Test litigation will soon be instituted to accomplish this purpose. A form letter of instructions, see Instructions to Contractors, has been approved by the Armed Services Tax Group (DOD) for issuance to contractors concerned. The letter sets forth the procedures to be followed by Government contractors and subcontractors in the city of Los Angeles during the pendency of the test litigation. Issuance thereof to affected prime contractors (who should, in turn, instruct affected subcontractors) will be accomplished by cognizant ACO's. Reports received from contractors concerning the Los Angeles Tax (see paragraph 6 of the Instructions to Contractors) will be forwarded to AFLC (MCJCO).

(b) Special tax clauses. (1) The special clauses in subparagraphs (3) and (4) of this paragraph are intended for use in all contracts containing an ASPR tax clause (usually fixed-price or time and materials contracts), the performance of which will be accomplished either wholly or partially in the city of Los Angeles, Calif. A special clause will be inserted in contracts for services as well as supply contracts since the Los Angeles tax, measured by gross receipts of the preceding year, is normally allo

cated and charged through overhead to all contracts of the current year. Thus, a subsequent reduction in the amount of license taxes for a given year is likely to be reflected as a general reduction in overhead for all contracts which shared the original cost or burden for such taxes.

(2) Provision will be made in IFB's, RFP's, and RFQ's to allow for the incorporation of a special tax clause in resultant contracts where appropriate. Existing contracts need not be amended to incorporate such a clause, except where new work is added.

(3) The following provision will be inserted in affected contracts containing the tax clause in § 11.401-1 of this title. LOS ANGELES CITY LICENSE TAXES Notwithstanding any other provisions of this contract:

(a) The contract price includes allocable Los Angeles City License taxes, including those taxes (hereinafter referred to as “additional taxes") resulting from the application of principles expressed by the Los Angeles City Attorney in his opinion dated March 2, 1960. If, after the contract date, the contractor is not required to pay or bear the burden, or obtains a credit or refund of all or a portion of said taxes from the city of Los Angeles, the contract price shall be decreased by the amount of such relief or refund allocable to this contract, or that amount shall be paid to the Government, as the Contracting Officer directs. The contract price shall be similarly decreased if the Contractor, through his fault or negligence or failure to follow instructions of the Contracting Officer as provided in (b) below, is required to pay or bear the burden or does not obtain a refund of any such taxes. Interest paid or credited to the Contractor incident to a refund of these taxes shall insure to the benefit of the Government to the extent that such interest was earned after the Contractor was paid or reimbursed by the Government for these taxes.

(b) The Contractor shall comply with the instructions of the Contracting Officer in order to obtain a reduction, credit or refund of Los Angeles City License Taxes, and the contract price shall be equitably adjusted to

cover the costs of such compliance, including reasonable attorneys' fees arising therefrom.

(c) The Contractor shall maintain accurate records showing the amount of Los Angeles License Taxes, and specifically the amount of additional taxes, included in the contract price.

(4) The following provision will be inserted in affected contracts containing the tax clause in § 11.401-2 of this title.
