SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    The North Carolina Sales and Use Tax Act authorizes counties and 
incorporated cities and towns to obtain each year, from the 
Commissioner of Revenue of the State of North Carolina, a refund of 
sales and use taxes indirectly paid on building materials, supplies, 
fixtures, and equipment that become a part of or are annexed to any 
building or structure in North Carolina.
    However, to substantiate a refund claim for sales or use taxes paid 
on purchases of building materials, supplies, fixtures, or equipment by 
a contractor, the Government must secure from the contractor certified 
statements setting forth the cost of the property purchased from each 
vendor and the amount of sales or use taxes paid. Similar certified 
statements by subcontractors must be obtained by the general contractor 
and furnished to the Government. The information is used as evidence to 
establish exemption from State and local taxes.

    Responses per Respondent: 1.

collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be

information technology.
