15-53-132. (Temporary) Telecommunications services other than mobile telecommunications services. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2), the sale of a telecommunications service paid for on a call-by-call basis is taxable in this state if the service address is located within the state.

(2) The sale of a telecommunications service paid for on a postpaid calling basis is taxable in this state if the origination point of the telecommunications signal as first identified by either the seller's telecommunications system or, if the system used to transport the signal is not that of the seller, the information received by the seller from its service provider is within the state.

(3) The sale of a private communications service is taxable in this state in the following manner:

(a) all charges related to a customer channel termination point located within the state are taxable within the state;

(b) all charges for service where all of the customer channel termination points are located entirely within the state are taxable within the state;

(c) charges for a segment of a channel between two taxpayer channel termination points, one located inside the state and one located outside the state, and for which the segment is separately charged are apportioned 50% to this state for taxation purposes; and

(d) charges for segments of a channel located in this state and one or more other states and for which the segments are not separately billed are apportioned to this state for taxation purposes based on the percentage determined by dividing the number of taxpayer channel termination points in this state by the total number of taxpayer channel termination points.

(4) In the case of a bundled transaction of telecommunications services, if the charges are attributable to services that are taxable and services that are nontaxable, the portion of the price attributable to the nontaxable services is subject to tax unless the provider can reasonably identify the portion of nontaxable services from its books and records kept in the regular course of business.
