2 GLOSSARY The following definitions have been developed to facilitate an understanding of the course material. They tend to be generic in nature, and do not necessarily apply in any specific jurisdiction. In addition, the same terms may be defined differently in contexts other than those considered in the course material. Term Absorption Agency clause Agent Assessment Bracket system Bulk sale Bundling Case law Commerce Clause Common carrier Compliance Definition The condition that exists when a seller does not add sales or use tax to the selling price as a separate itemized amount, but instead remits the tax from his or her own funds (not commonly allowed). Absorption is also known as embedded Compare with separation. Example of State: Arkansas does not require a separate line item for tax.

In a construction contract, such a clause may authorize a contractor to act as the customer's agent in making purchases. A person acting on behalf of another person, with the authority to bind the other person in dealings with third parties. Note that one can act on behalf of another without having this authority and this is sometimes referred to loosely and imprecisely as "agency." Generally refers to a taxing authority's formal assertion that the taxpayer to whom it is issued owes a stated amount of tax, interest, and/or penalty. A tax chart provided by the jurisdiction that sets forth ranges of sales prices (usually less than $1.00) and prescribes the amount of tax due on transactions within each range. A sale of all or a substantial portion of a business's assets. Examples may include the sale of a division or line of business. Certain states require the bulk sale be made to one entity.

The law as developed in the decisions of courts. May refer to State cases or United States Supreme Court Cases. Article I, Section 8, subsection 3, of the United States Constitution. This clause provides that Congress shall have the power To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes. One that transports property for others for a price. The term generally refers to a carrier that is obligated to accept such business from the general public (in contrast with "private" or "contract" carriers). Other elements may also apply in a given jurisdiction (such as standardized rates or schedules). Generally refers to the functions performed to adhere to the sales and use tax laws, including but not limited to registration, filing of sales and use tax returns, and Page 1

A type of sales tax that is imposed on the purchaser and that the seller collects for the taxing jurisdiction. Common (although not universal) features include the following: absorption is not allowed; separation is required; the tax is a debt of the buyer to the seller; the buyer can request a refund directly from the state; and the seller receives a collection allowance for collecting the tax. Example of State: New York An entity having authority under the law to act as a single person distinct from any other, including the shareholders who own stock in it. A corporation is generally treated as a separate and distinct taxpayer for sales and use tax purposes. Contracts that are usually billed showing the separated amounts for labor (time), equipment and materials. One of several terms that may be used to refer to a formal notification of assessment by the taxing jurisdiction, or to the resolution of a taxpayer's objections to such an assessment. The term can also be used more broadly to refer to other types of decisions or conclusions. Authorization granted by a taxing jurisdiction that allows a purchaser to choose to remit sales or use taxes directly to the jurisdiction rather than to the seller. When a purchaser provides the seller the required evidence of such authority, the seller is relieved of the obligation to collect tax from the purchaser. A unit of business within a legal entity that is generally treated as indistinct from the legal entity of which it is a part.

The doctrine is commonly (but not universally) applied in tax matters. A contract that is for a set amount and does not separate out the charges for material, equipment and labor.

The legal incidence can affect who is liable to the state for the tax, who can sue or be sued for the tax, and who can claim refunds or seek other relief. A tax compliance audit that the taxpayer conducts of its own records. Representatives of the taxpayer and the taxing authority will typically meet to discuss the parameters of the audit and other pertinent data. The areas reviewed in an MA are similar to those reviewed in a routine audit conducted by a state tax auditor. An agreement that allows the taxpayer to accrue tax on its purchases on a percentage basis. Before the MCA is formalized, representatives of the taxpayer and taxing authority will typically meet to discuss the taxpayer s operations, accounting systems utilized, how data can be extracted, changes or anticipated changes within the company and how the taxpayer will monitor the accruals.

A test used to evaluate the intent of the parties in determining whether or not a transaction is taxable (often when a transaction involves a mix of products and services).
