FET question

Hi folks,
There have been a couple of threads about charging Federal Excise Tax on rod builds which I've found very helpful, but I do have a question. I have done a couple where the customer gave me a fully functional rod, in one case almost brand new, which I then completely stripped, repainted and used as the blank for their rod. Since the rod I used was complete, does this type of build consitute a VERY extensive repair, on which no tax would be due, or is it considered a new rod? Thanks for your help.

FET has been paid on the blank, but not on the guides grips or reelseat (I can only assume since it was not mentioned) so I would say that FET is due on the value, minus the blank.

Thats what I would do anyway.

No tax is due on a rebuild. Only on first time, new rods.

Invoice the customer for parts, and labor. Do not even mention "rebuild new rod". You will be fine. It is a repair, with some new parts. Kind of like taking a car to the body shop!

Thanks for the input, folks! That was my thinking also - it's just a more extreme example of a repair like a reel seat replacement on a one piece rod, where just about everything has to come off to do the fix. I recently had the luxury of doing a build on a new blank - couldn't believe how much easier and faster it was!
