ABA representatives met earlier this week with the Department of Revenue to discuss the issue of the application of the new sales tax to change orders on pre-existing contracts. Previously the Department had ruled that a change order is a “new contract” and therefore subject to the higher tax rate if executed after the May 18th election and billed after June 1st.

Unfortunately, the Department refused to reverse its position on this subject. They did agree to put out a more formal written statement of their position and to update the FAQ section of their website. Hopefully, that will make our ability to explain this issue to our clients easier.

I would like to thank Pat Derdenger of Steptoe and Johnson and Nancy Kelley and Jorge Arellano from Kitchell for their time and effort on behalf of ABA and the industry.

I’ll continue to push the Department for the written opinion and to make sure they update their website.
