Question juridique clé
Whether standard software delivered by data transmission and installed on the customer's system is subject to turnover tax as a taxable supply.
Solution extraite
Yes. The decisive factor is that the software is installed on the customer's computer, so the computer system is altered in a way that qualifies as manufacturing of a good; the transmission medium is irrelevant.
Motifs extraits
Standard software remains a good. Installation on the customer's hard drive constitutes a manufacturing/processing act under the WUStB. It makes no difference whether the supplier installs on site or via remote transmission, because the result is the same: the customer's hardware is adapted for intended use.
