Title 61--REVENUE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE [61 PA. CODE CH. 60] Telecommunications Service
[27 Pa.B. 6577] The Department of Revenue has amended a statement of policy under the authority contained in § 3.2 (relating to statements of policy) regarding telecommunications services, to read as set forth in Annex A.
This statement of policy amends § 60.20 (relating to telecommunications service) and applies retroactively to October 18, 1997.
When the Department published its statement of policy at 27 Pa.B. 5432 (October 18, 1997) relating to telecommunications services, it provided in § 60.20(b)(1) that effective October 1, 1991, the sale at retail or use of an international or interstate telecommunications service charged to a service address in this Commonwealth or an intraState telecommunications service is subject to tax. However, the Department failed to specify in subsection (d)(8) that the exemption for a telephone call paid for by inserting money into a telephone that accepts a direct deposit of money to operate is effective July 1, 1995. Therefore, subsection (d)(8) is amended to incorporate the effective date.
Specific questions relating to information provided in this statement of policy may be directed to the Department of Revenue, Office of Chief Counsel, Dept. 281061, Harrisburg, PA 17128-1061.
