A separate fee for an optional software maintenance contract is taxable at 50% if you supply physical products to the buyer during the term of the contract (for example. B your customer will receive software updates on CD). If you do not transfer physical software updates or other important personal property to your customer during the maintenance period, the contract fee is not taxable (for example.
