E 589Ci Form PDF Details

The E-589Ci Affidavit of Capital Improvement plays a crucial role in the realm of sales and use tax concerning real property contracts. This form is designed to clarify the tax obligations for contracts or specific work deemed as capital improvements to real property, implying different tax treatment compared to regular repair, maintenance, or installation services. Its use is pivotal in establishing whether the services rendered should be taxed as a real property contract, therefore impacting how subcontractors and general contractors handle their sales and use tax responsibilities. The form comprises two main sections: one for single use—ideal for one-time project affirmations—and another for blanket use, catering to recurring business relationships within a 12-month timeframe. The process insists on detailed descriptions of the capital improvements, the identities and addresses of the parties involved, and insists on accountability by requiring signatures of authorized persons. Misclassification or errors in issuing this affidavit can lead to tax liabilities, underscoring the document's significance in clarifying tax obligations ahead of project commencement. Additionally, in scenarios where subcontractors are engaged, employing the E-589Ci ensures compliance with sales and use tax laws, thereby avoiding potential pitfalls arising from misinterpretation or misapplication of tax statutes.

Afidavit of Capital Improvement Instructions

Form E-589CI, Afidavit of Capital Improvement, may be issued to substantiate that a contract, or a portion of work performed to fulill a contract, is a capital improvement to real property and subject to sales and use tax as a real property contract. Generally, services to real property are retail sales of or the gross receipts derived from repair, maintenance, and installation services, unless a person substantiates that a transaction is subject to tax as a real property contract, subject to tax as a mixed transaction contract, or the transaction is not subject to sales and use tax. A “real property contract” is a contract between a real property contractor and another person to perform a capital improvement to real property.

A mixed transaction contract is a contract that includes both a real property contract for a capital improvement and repair, maintenance, and installation services for real property that are not related to the capital improvement. For a mixed transaction contract, if the allocated sales price of the taxable repair, maintenance, and installation services included in the contract is less than or equal to twenty-ive percent (25%) of the contract price, then the repair, maintenance, and installation services portion of the contract, and the tangible personal property, digital property, or service used to perform those services, are taxable as a real property contract for sales and use tax purposes.

A person that issues Form E-589CI is liable for any additional tax due on the transaction in excess of tax paid on purchases pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105- 164.4H(a), if it is determined that the transaction is not a capital improvement, but rather the transaction is subject to tax as a retail sale.

A person who receives Form E-589CI from another person, absent fraud or other egregious activities, is not liable for any additional tax on the gross receipts from the transaction if it is determined that the transaction is not a capital improvement.

Form E-589CI is not an afidavit of tax paid on tangible personal property, or digital property purchased or used to fulill a real property contract.

Form E-589CI may not to be used to purchase tangible personal property, or digital property exempt from sales and use tax.

Exceptions from the Issuance of Form E-589CI to Establish a Transaction is to be Taxed as a Real Property Contract

In lieu of issuing an afidavit of capital improvement, a person may substantiate by other records that a transaction is a real property contract or a mixed transaction contract subject to tax as a real property contract, as discussed above, for a capital improvement to real property. However, where subcontractors are involved, it may be in the best interest of all parties to use Form E-589CI to ensure proper application of the sales and use tax laws.
