295.1319 Energy Surcharge Fees. A company sells industrial gases and supplies for use in welding operations. The company recently included an "energy surcharge fee" on their sales to non-tax exempt customers. This fee is a cost of doing business that the company passes on to its customers and is therefore part of the cost of materials sold to the company's retail customers. The "energy surcharge fee" must be included in the taxable gross receipts whether or not they are separately stated in a sales invoice provided to the company's customers. 08/17/01.
