430.0158 Multiple Listing Service Books. The real estate multiple listing services maintain listings on a computer data base which may be accessed via modem by the participants. The listings are also printed in book form. Many of the multiple listing services contract with outside vendors who both maintain the computer data base of listings and print the data base in a book format. These vendors charge input or insertion fees for each listing entered into the data base as fees for the multiple listing service books they print. If the vendor's charge for an insert or for input into the data base is optional—that is, the vendor does not require the purchase of the service as part of the sale of the books—the charge for the data insert or input is not subject to sales tax. 4/13/92.
