- The Texas Comptroller ruled that quality control equipment used in manufacturing carbon steel plates qualifies for the Texas manufacturing sales tax exemption.
- The equipment is used to test steel plates for compliance with customer requirements and industry standards.
- The exemption applies because the equipment is essential to the quality control process and is powered by electricity or fuel, not considered hand tools.
- Use of the equipment for purposes other than quality control is considered divergent use and may not qualify for the exemption.
