Public Utilities: Sale of Commodities
(1)
The sale of a commodity such as electricity, water, steam, oil, oil products or gas, including but not limited to natural and liquid gas, which is delivered or shipped to a purchaser with a contractually specified point of physical delivery in Oregon, is a sale in this state. It does not matter whether the purchaser uses the property in Oregon, transfers the property to another state, or resells the property in Oregon. If the contract states the point of delivery is at the Oregon border with another state, the sale is presumed to be in Oregon unless the taxpayer can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the department that delivery occurred in some other place.(2)
A taxpayer who contracts to sell electricity to and also buy electricity from the same entity during the same period or partial period of time will have an offsetting contractual amount, also known as a book-out transaction. The gross sales of electricity, without regard to the offsetting purchase amount, are considered to be Oregon sales if the contractually specified point of physical delivery is in Oregon.
