    16     (g)  "Purchase price."
    17     (1)  The total value of anything paid or delivered, or
    18  promised to be paid or delivered, whether it be money or
    19  otherwise, in complete performance of a sale at retail or
    20  purchase at retail, as herein defined, without any deduction on

    24  other taxes imposed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any
    25  other expense except that there shall be excluded any gratuity
    26  or separately stated deposit charge for returnable containers.
    27     (2)  There shall be deducted from the purchase price the
    28  value of any tangible personal property actually taken in trade
    29  or exchange in lieu of the whole or any part of the purchase
    30  price. For the purpose of this clause, the amount allowed by
    19930H0788B0852                  - 4 -

     1  reason of tangible personal property actually taken in trade or

     3     (3)  In determining the purchase price on the sale or use of
     4  taxable tangible personal property or a service described in
     5  subclauses (11) through (14) and (16) through (18) of clause (k)
     6  of this section where, because of affiliation of interests
     7  between the vendor and purchaser, or irrespective of any such
     8  affiliation, if for any other reason the purchase price declared
     9  by the vendor or taxpayer on the taxable sale or use of such
    10  tangible personal property or service is, in the opinion of the
    11  department, not indicative of the true value of the article or
    12  service or the fair price thereof, the department shall,
    13  pursuant to uniform and equitable rules, determine the amount of
    14  constructive purchase price upon the basis of which the tax
    15  shall be computed and levied. Such rules shall provide for a
    16  constructive amount of purchase price for each such sale or use
    17  which would naturally and fairly be charged in an arms-length
    18  transaction in which the element of common interest between the
    19  vendor or purchaser is absent or if no common interest exists,
    20  any other element causing a distortion of the price or value is
    21  likewise absent. For the purpose of this clause where a taxable
    22  sale or purchase at retail transaction occurs between a parent
    23  and a subsidiary, affiliate or controlled corporation of such
    24  parent corporation, there shall be a rebuttable presumption,
    25  that because of such common interest such transaction was not at
    26  arms-length.
    27     (4)  Where there is a transfer or retention of possession or
    28  custody, whether it be termed a rental, lease, service or
    29  otherwise, of tangible personal property including, but not
    30  limited to linens, aprons, motor vehicles, trailers, tires,
    19930H0788B0852                  - 5 -

     1  industrial office and construction equipment, and business
     2  machines the full consideration paid or delivered to the vendor
     3  or lessor shall be considered the purchase price, even though
     4  such consideration be separately stated and be designated as
     5  payment for processing, laundering, service, maintenance,
     6  insurance, repairs, depreciation or otherwise. Where the vendor
     7  or lessor supplies or provides an employe to operate such
     8  tangible personal property, the value of the labor thus supplied
     9  may be excluded and shall not be considered as part of the
    10  purchase price if separately stated. There shall also be
    11  included as part of the purchase price the value of anything
    12  paid or delivered, or promised to be paid or delivered by a
    13  lessee, whether it be money or otherwise, to any person other
    14  than the vendor or lessor by reason of the maintenance,
    15  insurance or repair of the tangible personal property which a
    16  lessee has the possession or custody of under a rental contract
    17  or lease arrangement.
    18     (5)  With respect to the tax imposed by subsection (b) of
    19  section 202 upon any tangible personal property originally
    20  purchased by the user of such property six months or longer
    21  prior to the first taxable use of such property within the
    22  Commonwealth, such user may elect to pay tax on a substituted
    23  base determined by considering the purchase price of such
    24  property for tax purposes to be equal to the prevailing market
    25  price of similar tangible personal property at the time and
    26  place of such first use within the Commonwealth. Such election
    27  must be made at the time of filing a tax return with the
    28  department and reporting such tax liability and paying the
    29  proper tax due plus all accrued penalties and interest, if there
    30  be any, within six months of the due date of such report and
    19930H0788B0852                  - 6 -

     1  payment, as provided for by subsections (a) and (c) of section
     2  217 of this article.
     3     [(6)  The purchase price of employment agency services and
     4  help supply services shall be the service fee paid by the
     5  purchaser to the vendor or supplying entity. The term "service
     6  fee," as used in this subclause, shall be the total charge or
     7  fee of the vendor or supplying entity minus the costs of the
     8  supplied employe which costs are wages, salaries, bonuses and
     9  commissions, employment benefits, expense reimbursements and
    10  payroll and withholding taxes, to the extent that these costs
    11  are specifically itemized or that these costs in aggregate are
    12  stated in billings from the vendor or supplying entity. To the
    13  extent that these costs are not itemized or stated on the
    14  billings, then the service fee shall be the total charge or fee
    15  of the vendor or supplying entity.]
    16     (7)  Unless the vendor separately states that portion of the
    17  billing which applies to premium cable service as defined in
    18  clause (ll) of this section, the total bill for the provision of
    19  all cable services shall be the purchase price.
    20     * * *
    21     (k)  "Sale at retail."
    22     (1)  Any transfer, for a consideration, of the ownership,
    23  custody or possession of tangible personal property, including
    24  the grant of a license to use or consume whether such transfer
    25  be absolute or conditional and by whatsoever means the same
    26  shall have been effected.
    27     (2)  The rendition of the service of printing or imprinting
    28  of tangible personal property for a consideration for persons
    29  who furnish, either directly or indirectly the materials used in
    30  the printing or imprinting.

    23  service.
