North Carolina sales tax and use tax, as required by law, apply to materials entering into county <br />Work and such costs shall be included in all bid proposals and contract sums. <br /> <br />45.2. Local option sales and use taxes, as required by law, apply to materials entering into county Work <br />as applicable and such costs shall be included in all bid proposals and contract sums. <br /> <br />45.3. The CMAR shall give the Owner a signed tax statement containing the information listed in G.S. <br />105-164.14(e) before any payment requests submitted will be due. <br /> <br />45.4. The Department of Revenue has agreed as of April 1, 1991 that in lieu of obtaining copies of sales <br />receipts from Subcontractors, an agency may obtain a certified statement from the Subcontractor <br />setting forth the date, the type of property and the cost of the property purchased from each vendor, <br />the county in which the vendor made the sale and the amount of local sales and use taxes paid <br />thereon. If the property was purchased out-of-state, the county in which the property was delivered <br />should be listed. The Subcontractor should also be notified that the certified statement may be <br />subject to audit. <br /> <br />45.5. In the event the CMAR makes several purchases from the same vendor, such certified statement <br />must indicate the invoice numbers, the inclusive dates of the invoices, the total amount of the <br />invoices, the counties, and the county sales and use taxes paid thereon. The position of a sale is the <br />retailer’s place of business located within a taxing county where the vendor becomes contractually <br />obligated to make the sale. Therefore, it is important that the county tax be reported for the county <br />of sale rather than the county of use. When property is purchased from out-of- state vendors and the <br />county tax is charged, the county should be identified where delivery is made when reporting the <br />county tax. Such statement must also include the cost of any tangible personal property withdrawn <br />from the CMAR’s warehouse stock and the amount of county sales or use tax paid thereon by the <br />CMAR. Similar certified statements by its Subcontractors must be obtained by the CMAR and <br />furnished. <br /> <br />45.6. The CMAR and its Subcontractors are not to include any tax paid on supplies, tools, and equipment <br />which they use to perform their contracts and should include only those building materials, <br />supplies, fixtures and equipment which actually become a part of or annexed to the building or <br />structure. <br /> <br />45.7. Any sales tax refunds paid to the Owner shall be exclusively for the Owner’s use and shall not in <br />any way reduce the cost of the Project or impact the GMP. <br /> <br />46. PAYMENTS WITHHELD <br /> <br />46.1. The Project Designer may withhold a certificate for payment in whole or in part, to the extent <br />reasonably necessary to protect the Owner. If the Project Designer is unable to certify payment in <br />the amount of the application, the Project Designer will notify the CMAR and the Owner in <br />writing. If the CMAR and Project Designer cannot agree on a revised amount, the Project Designer <br />will promptly issue a certificate for payment for the amount for which the Project Designer is able <br />to make such representations to the Owner. The Project Designer may also withhold a certificate <br />for payment, in whole or in part, to such extent as may be necessary in the Project Designer’s <br />opinion to protect the Owner from loss for which the CMAR or the Subcontractor(s) is responsible, <br />including loss resulting from acts and omissions, because of: <br /> <br />46.1.1. Defective Work not remedied; <br /> <br />46.1.2. Third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims <br />unless security acceptable to the Owner is provided by the CMAR; <br /> <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 5A9E3BC2-EAE1-4C35-82D9-B4D6A375FA78
