Q:  How am I taxable on the sale of an extended warranty when I am the warrantor?

A:  A separate charge for an extended warranty to a consumer by a warrantor is taxable under the retailing classification of the B&O tax. In addition, the warrantor (or the warrantor's in-state selling agent) must collect and remit the retail sales tax.
