10-45-29.1. Deduction allowed attorneys and accountants for amounts spent on behalf of clients.In determining the amount of tax due under this chapter, a person licensed pursuant to chapter 16-16 and a person licensed pursuant to chapter 36-20B may deduct from gross receipts amounts which represent charges to clients for tangible personal property, any product transferred electronically, or services purchased by the attorney or accountant on behalf of a client. However, the sale of the property or service to the attorney or accountant is not a sale for resale if this deduction is taken. This deduction may only be taken if the amount to be deducted represents an expense specifically incurred for a particular client and the amount is itemized and separately billed as a reimbursable expense by the attorney or accountant.
