550.0000 Taxable Sales of Food Products—Regulation 1603
Annotation 550.1372
(g) Employees', Teachers' and Students' Meals
550.1372 Sales of Meals and Food Products Through Vending Machines to Students. Tax does not apply to retail sales of food products or meals, whether served hot or cold, through a vending machine or otherwise by a public or private school to its students. However, this exemption does not apply to such sales of food products and meals to nonstudents.
In those situations where sales of food products and meals are made through the school owned vending machines to both students and nonstudents, a reasonable allocation between exempt and nonexempt sales can be made. In such cases, the school can establish a representative test of the vending machine sales occurring on the affected campuses. However, before implementation of such a test, it is recommended that the school submit the proposed testing procedure to the Board's appropriate Headquarters section for review so that it can determine its adequacy and advise the Board's district office serving the affected school's campuses. 10/19/83.
