(a) In General. Repairers, alterers, and remodelers of furs are retailers of the fur sold in connection with repairing, altering, and remodeling of fur garments.

Fur repairers, alterers, and remodelers must segregate on the invoices presented to their customers and in their records the fair retail selling price of the fur furnished by them, from the charges for the labor of repairing, altering, or remodeling the fur garment. If the retailer does not make a segregation of these charges, the retail selling price of the fur will be determined by the Board based on information available to it.

The repairers, alterers, and remodelers are the consumers of the thread, buttons, lining, and materials other than fur used in connection with such repairing, altering, and remodeling unless a separate charge for such property is made on the invoices to the customers at the fair retail selling price, in which case they are the retailers of the property.

(b) Fabrication Labor. Where the services performed on the fur garment by repairers, alterers, or remodelers result in producing, processing, or fabricating tangible personal property or are a step in producing, processing, or fabricating tangible personal property, the entire charge, including fabrication labor and materials, is subject to tax.
