Subject: Additional guidance from the Department of Revenue on Computer
Software Tax

The Department of Revenue is appreciative of the thoughtful and insightful
feedback from the computer services industry over the last few weeks.  In
addition to input from two focus groups, DOR received numerous questions,
business scenarios and comments from taxpayers and practitioners on the
application of the sales and use tax to certain computer services.  The
feedback was an enormous help in developing further guidance.  

 

A new Technical Information Release
<http://www.mass.gov/dor/businesses/help-and-resources/legal-library/tirs/ti
rs-by-years/2013-releases/working-draft-tir-computer-software.html>  will
help clarify what services are, or are not, subject to tax.  The TIR is
released as a public working draft and comments are solicited.

 

Information Resources from DOR:

1.                   The
<http://www.mass.gov/dor/utility/recent-tax-changes.html> DOR website offers
a special section dedicated to information on the recent tax changes at
www.mass.gov/dor/newtaxinfo including a letter and video from the
Commissioner. 

 

2.                   The new Technical Information Release
<http://www.mass.gov/dor/businesses/help-and-resources/legal-library/tirs/ti
rs-by-years/2013-releases/working-draft-tir-computer-software.html>
provides further guidance on what is, and what is not, taxable.  

 

3.                   A detailed set of FAQs
<http://www.mass.gov/dor/docs/dor/law-changes/faqss-computer-software-2013.p
df>  provides both general and detailed guidance.  

 

4.                   Comments on the working draft of the new TIR, and any
other comments or suggestions on the computer software tax, should be
submitted to rulesandregs at dor.state.ma.  

 

5.                   Customer service can be reached at 617-887-6367 or in
MA only at 800-392-6089.
