- The South Carolina Department of Revenue ruled that scaffolding used by a contractor for insulation installation is considered a rental of tangible personal property.
- The transaction between ABC (scaffolding provider) and XYZ (insulation contractor) is subject to sales tax, regardless of how the payment is characterized.
- The delivery, assembly, and removal services are incidental to the rental of the scaffolding.
- The entire gross proceeds from the rental are taxable, with no deductions for labor, materials, or other expenses.
- ABC cannot claim a credit for sales tax previously paid on the scaffolding because it did not use a resale certificate at the time of purchase.
