North Carolina Administrative Code Title 17 — Revenue
17 NCAC 05C .1004 — Numerator
The numerator of the sales factor will include the gross receipts from sales which are attributable to this state, and includes all interest income, service charges, carrying charges, or time-price differential charges incidental to such sales regardless of the place where the accounting records are maintained or the location of the contract or other evidence of indebtedness. 17 NCAC 05C .1005 WHAT SALES OF TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY ARE IN THIS STATE (a) Gross receipts from the sales of tangible personal property are in this state if the property is delivered or shipped to a purchaser within this state regardless of the f.o.b. point or other conditions of sale. (b) Property shall be deemed to be delivered or shipped to a purchaser within this state if the recipient is located in this state, even though the property is ordered from outside this state. (c) Property is delivered or shipped to a purchaser within this state if the shipment terminates in this state, even though the property is subsequently transferred by the purchaser to another state. (d) The term "purchaser within this state" shall include the ultimate recipient of the property if the taxpayer in this state, at the designation of the purchaser, delivers to or has the property shipped to the ultimate recipient within this state. (e) When property being shipped by a seller from the state of origin to consignee in another state is diverted while enroute to a purchaser in this state the sales are in this state. 17 NCAC 05C .1006 SALES FACTOR: SALES TO UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT (a) For the purposes of G.S. 105-130.4, gross receipts from the sales of tangible personal property to the United States Government are in this state if the property is shipped to or received or accepted by the United States Government in this state. For the purpose of this Rule, only sales for which the United States Government makes direct payment to the seller pursuant to the terms of its contract constitute sales to the United States Government. Thus, sales by a subcontractor to the prime contractor, the party to the contract with the United States Government, do not constitute sales to the United States Government. (b) When the United States Government is the purchaser of property which remains in the possession of the taxpayer in this state for further processing under another contract, or for other reasons, "shipment" is deemed to be made at the time of acceptance by the United States Government. 17 NCAC 05C .1007 NUMERATOR: OTHER RECEIPTS CONSTITUTING BUSINESS INCOME SECTION .1100 - PUBLIC UTILITIES AND EXCLUDED CORPORATIONS APPORTIONMENT FACTORS
