- The Texas Comptroller ruled that services assisting motor vehicle dealers with manufacturer warranty claim reimbursements are not subject to Texas sales and use tax.
- The taxpayer reviews, edits, and advises on warranty claims but does not provide a database, store data, or enter information into the system.
- Only specifically enumerated services, including data processing, are taxable in Texas; proofreading and editing alone are not considered data processing.
- Previous rulings taxed similar services only when the provider entered data and maintained a database, which is not the case here.
- The Comptroller concluded these warranty claim reimbursement services do not meet the definition of taxable services in Texas.
