Annotation 325.0140
(a) In General—Shipments Into California from Points Outside State
325.0140 Storage in State of Property Usable Only at an Out-of-State Point. A taxpayer with facilities both inside and outside California purchased custom equipment outside the state for use in a facility being constructed outside California. Construction of the facility was delayed such that the fabrication of the custom equipment was completed before the facility was prepared to receive it. Accordingly, the equipment was shipped to the taxpayer in California for storage pending delivery for installation at the out-of-state facility. It was in fact ultimately shipped to the out-of-state facility and permanently installed there. The equipment was specifically designed and intended for use at the out-of-state facility. The taxpayer had no facility inside California that could utilize the equipment or that was sufficiently compatible with the equipment as to permit testing of the equipment or training of personnel to operate the equipment.
The storage of the equipment is excluded from the use tax under section 6009.1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. 9/2/76.
