A. Consumption in Production Activities.

(1) The sale of gas, electricity, steam, oil, or coal, consumed

directly and predominantly in a production activity is not

subject to the tax. Production activities do not include

processing food or a beverage by a retail food vendor

or operating administrative or commercial facilities, such

as ofces, sales and display rooms, retail outlets and

storage facilities, including refrigerated storage facilities.

(2) If electricity, gas, or steam is sold through a single meter

for both exempt and taxable uses, the purpose which

consumes the majority of the electricity, gas, or steam is

the basis for determining the taxability of the sale. The

buyer shall determine the majority usage, considering

the relative connected load for each purpose and the

relative time of operation of each over a period of one

year, unless the circumstances of a particular case

require a different period. Similarly, the taxability of

purchases of oil or coal is determined by the majority

use where it is impracticable to measure separately the

amount purchased for each purpose.

(3) If the sale of electricity or natural gas is exempt from

tax, the sale of the transmission, distribution, or delivery

of that electricity or natural gas is also exempt from tax.

(4) In order to obtain this exclusion, the buyer of gas,

electricity, steam, oil or coal shall present to the vendor

of the commodity and the vendor of the transmission,

distribution, or delivery service a certication, upon a

form available from the comptroller, setting forth the

basis for the claimed exemption. Upon presentation

of the completed and signed form, the vendor may

not collect the tax until notied by the comptroller to

resume collection or until the certication is revoked by

the buyer. The buyer shall revoke the certication when

no longer entitled to exclusion under the terms of this

regulation.

B. Exempt Buyers.

(1) A person operating a non-prot religious, charitable,

or educational organization possessing an exemption

certicate issued by the comptroller under Regulation

.22, and other persons possessing an exemption

certicate issued by the comptroller, may claim

exemption for the tax on gas, electricity, steam, oil, coal,

or the transmission, distribution, or delivery of electricity

or natural gas by providing a photocopy of this certicate

to the vendor.

(2) A member of a foreign diplomatic corps may purchase

gas, electricity, steam, oil, coal or the transmission,

distribution, or delivery of electricity or natural gas

free of tax by presenting to the vendor the evidence of

exemption issued by the United States Department of

State.
