In General. Gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property to the United States
Government are in Idaho if the property is shipped from an office, store, warehouse, factory, or other place of storage
in Idaho. For purposes of this rule, only sales for which the United States Government makes direct payment to the
seller pursuant to the terms of a contract constitute sales to the United States Government. Generally, sales by a
subcontractor to the prime contractor, the party to the contract with the United States Government, are not sales to the
United States Government.
