Description

S&U tax treatment of real estate construction contracts varies. A customer who is a manufacturer versus a tax-exempt entity or government contractor may have substantially different S&U tax treatment. Construction contracts for real property compared to tangible personal property are also subject to substantially different S&U tax rules, and what qualifies as real property versus tangible personal property varies by state. 

Understanding these distinctions is critical for applying the correct sales tax treatment and maintaining compliance. Tax practitioners working with construction clients need to be able to analyze contract terms and project details to determine the tax consequences and compliance obligations.

Listen as our panel of experienced SALT professionals navigates the complexities of sales tax for construction contractors.
