North Carolina: Facilitation of Money Deposits for Telecom’s Customers is Taxable Prepaid Wireless Calling Services

  • NCBC held that actions of an authorized dealer for a prepaid wireless service provider in facilitating the deposit of money into customer accounts are taxable under North Carolina law as they constitute the sale of prepaid wireless calling services.
  • This is because real time replenishments convey the right to purchase wireless services, regardless of whether they are used for such services or tangible personal property.
  • This recent decision reverses a prior ruling from the North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings.
