SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause at 52.229-2, North 
Carolina State and Local Sales and Use Tax, requires contractors for 
construction or vessel repair to be performed in North Carolina to 
provide certified statements setting forth the cost of the property 
purchased from each vendor and the amount of sales or use taxes paid.
    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.
