A charge for video photography for a client is subject to sales tax even if the client provides the videotape and camera. Motion pictures produced for private noncommercial use, such as weddings, etc., are excluded from "qualified motion pictures". Sales tax applies to the charges for the videotapes. Assuming that the customer's videos are for private, noncommercial use, tax applies to charges for editing home videos and tax also applies to charges for duplicating customer's videos. 1/7/93.
