For a re-roof, 12 CSR 10-112.010(1) provides that "a contractor is the final user and consumer of the materials and supplies used and consumed in fulfilling a construction contract and which become part of a completed real property improvement," so the roofer pays tax when it buys the materials. Under 12 CSR 10-112.010(2)(A), "In general, title passes after installation is complete," and where title passes after attachment the contractor "does not collect tax on its transfer of ownership or title of the item."
