- The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued a private letter ruling on November 24, 2024, denying a taxpayer’s request to exempt cloud computing services from Texas sales tax under the resale exemption, stating that these services are primarily for internal use.
- The taxpayer, which provides web-based transportation logistics solutions, argued that its cloud service purchases were for resale, as fees were based on customer usage; however, the Comptroller determined that the cloud services were mainly used to operate the taxpayer’s online system.
- The ruling emphasized the importance of companies evaluating their cloud service contracts and including detailed agreements that specify resale usage to support any claims for tax exemptions.
