375.0000 Motion Pictures—Regulation 1529
Annotation 375.0900
(b) On and After September 22, 1988
(1) Generally
375.0900 Qualified Production Service. A person is engaged in the business of creating masks and models (items) that are used to generate "special effects" in motion pictures. The items are built of wood, plastic, rubber and other synthetic materials. There is no transfer of legal title but there is a transfer of possession of the items to the customer. In some instances creators of the items accompany the items to the filming location and manipulate the items in the course of filming. The filming is done by other persons.
When a person transfers possession of the items to the customer in this state or operates models under direction and control of the customer, there is a lease of tangible personal property under Regulation 1660(a)(1) rather than a "qualified production service" under Regulation 1590(d). 12/20/91.
