  • 1.  Texas Sales Tax -Unprocessed/processed materials (quarry/pit)

    Posted 10-20-2022 14:40
    Does anyone have a guide or general rules for Texas sales tax on unprocessed/processed materials for a pit/quarry?  It's for a new subsidiary company.  I have a cheat sheet of Texas sales tax for new construction/repair remodel for T& M and Lump jobs that breaks down sales tax on AP vendors material, consumables equipment & labor and what is billable to the customer.   I'm willing to trade.  :)


    Thanks
    Sue

    As a trucking company that buys a lot of aggregates most seem to follow the following rule: if you have to crush, screen, and/or wash the material you are selling, you should tax it.  Just digging it out of the ground and loading it onto trucks?  No tax.

    To be clear I haven't backed this up with any research in the Texas Administrative Code.

    Thank you...I did find the following article in the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts STAR system.  It was hard to find.  They don't make it easy.

    That's a great find.  Consider me surprised.  No tax on screened materials because the act of screening isn't changing the size of the (sand) grains.  Cool!
