AB471,2,85
77.52
(13) For the purpose of the proper administration of this section and to
6prevent evasion of the sales tax it shall be presumed that all receipts are subject to
7the tax until the contrary is established. The burden of proving that a sale of tangible
1personal property or services is not a taxable sale at retail is upon the person who
2makes the sale unless that person takes from the purchaser a certificate to the effect
3that the property or service is purchased for resale or is otherwise exempt.
A
4building contractor who purchases goods or services exclusively for use in
5construction for an entity sales to which are exempt under this subchapter may use
6an exemption certificate of the exempt entity if the building contractor also presents
7a statement from the exempt entity that the goods or services are to be used
8exclusively for construction for the exempt entity.
