Annotation 120.3055
(c) Custom Programs
120.3055 Computer Program Translation Services. The translation of customers' computer application program codes to make the programs useable on a different brand of equipment is custom computer programming excluded from "sale" and "purchase" tax as it meets the criteria of modification to an existing program pursuant to section 6010.9(d). However, the translation of file records or data does not qualify for exclusion from that definition as they are not programs as defined in section 6010.9. They are also not exempt services as the true object of the contract is the property produced by the translation service and not the service per se. Charges for this service are subject to sales tax. 9/25/85.
