(G) the sale of tangible personal property that is
delivered to and stored in a warehouse or other storage facility in
Texas at the purchaser's request, as opposed to a necessary delay
in transit, even though the property is subsequently shipped outside
Texas;
(H) the drop shipment of tangible personal property
in Texas. A drop shipment is a shipment of tangible personal property
from a seller directly to a purchaser's customer, at the request of
the purchaser, without passing through the hands of the purchaser.
This results in Texas gross receipts for the seller and the purchaser.
(30) Telecommunication services.
(A) Gross receipts from telephone calls that both originate
and terminate in Texas are sourced to Texas.
(B) Gross receipts from telephone calls that originate
in Texas but terminate outside of Texas or that originate outside
of Texas but terminate in Texas are not sourced to Texas.
(C) Gross receipts from telecommunication services
other than those services in subparagraph (A) or (B) of this paragraph
are sourced to Texas if the services are performed in Texas. For example,
a telephone company that provides a long distance carrier access to
the telephone company's local exchange network in Texas is performing
a service in Texas. Any fee that the telephone company charges the
long distance carrier for access to the local exchange network in
Texas is a Texas receipt regardless of whether the access is related
to an interstate call. A fee that is charged to obtain access to a
local exchange network in Texas and that is based on the duration
of an interstate telephone call are not sourced to Texas.
(31) Television broadcaster licensing income. For reports
originally due on or after January 1, 2018, a broadcaster's gross
receipts from licensing income from broadcasting or otherwise distributing
film programming by any means are sourced to Texas if the legal domicile
of the broadcaster's customer is in this state. In this subparagraph,
the following words and terms shall have the following meaning:
(A) Broadcaster--A taxable entity, not including a
cable service provider or a direct broadcast satellite service, that
is a television station licensed by the Federal Communications Commission,
television broadcast network, cable television network, or television
distribution company.
(B) Customer--A person, including a licensee, who has
a direct connection or contractual relationship with a broadcaster
under which the broadcaster derives revenue.
(C) Film programming--All or part of a live or recorded
performance, event, or production intended to be distributed for visual
and auditory perception by an audience.
(D) Programming--Includes news, entertainment, sporting
events, plays, stories, or other literary, commercial, educational,
or artistic works.
(32) Texas waters. Gross receipts from transactions
that occur in Texas waters are sourced to Texas. Texas waters are
considered to extend to 10.359 statute miles, or nine nautical miles,
from the Texas coastline.
(33) Transportation services. Gross receipts from the
transportation of goods or passengers are sourced to Texas by:
(A) including gross receipts from the transportation
of goods or passengers that both originates and terminates in Texas;
or
(B) the multiplication of total transportation receipts
by the ratio of total compensated mileage in the transportation of
goods and passengers in Texas to total compensated mileage.
(f) Natural gas production.
(1) Gross receipts that a gas producer realizes from
the contract price of gas that the gas producer produces and that
the purchaser takes pursuant to the terms of sales are sourced to
Texas, if the gas is delivered in Texas.
(2) Gross receipts that a gas producer realizes from
a purchaser's payment under a sale or purchase contract for gas to
be produced even if no gas is produced and delivered to the purchaser,
are sourced to the location of the payor.
(3) Gross receipts that a gas producer realizes from
a purchaser's payments to terminate a gas purchase contract are sourced
to the location of the payor.
(4) Gross receipts that a gas producer realizes from
a contract amendment that relates to the price of the gas sold are
treated as gross receipts from the sales of gas and are sourced to
Texas if delivery is made to a location in Texas. Gross receipts that
the gas producer realizes from a contract amendment that relates to
a provision other than the price of gas sold are sourced to the location
of the payor.
(5) Gross receipts that a gas producer realizes from
litigation awards for a breach of contract, reimbursements for litigation-related
expenses (e.g., documented attorney's fees or court costs), or interest
(upon which the parties have agreed, that the records of the producer
reflects, or in an amount that a court has ordered) are sourced to
the location of the payor.
(6) Gross receipts that a gas producer realizes from
a judgment, compromise, or settlement relating to the recovery of
a contract price of gas produced are sourced to Texas to the extent
the contract specified delivery to a location in Texas. Gross receipts
that a gas producer realizes from a judgment, compromise, or settlement
that relates to several claims or causes of action shall be prorated
based upon the documented amounts due under the contract for each
claim or cause of action according to the records of the producer.
For example, a settlement sum of $100,000 for a pricing dispute of
$25,000 and for failure to pay for gas not taken in the amount of
$225,000, would result in receipts of $10,000 from gas sales (100,000
X 25,000/250,000) and receipts from other business of $90,000 (100,000
X 225,000/250,000). Records of the producer shall include, but are
not limited to the following: contracts, settlement agreements, accounting
records and entries, court pleadings and worksheets, including calculations
reflecting settlement amounts.
