Any contractor enumerated in the SIC manual of 1987 under Construction (DivisionC) is included for purposes of this section. The gross receipts resulting from the services performed by a contractor listed in Division C of the SIC manual are subject to the contractor's excise tax, whether or not the results of such services constitute a fixture. If a contractor engages in services not specifically listed in the SIC manual, then the construction, building, or installation services must result in a fixture to realty before the contractor's gross receipts are subject to the contractor's excise tax.

1. (1) A, a telephone equipment installation contractor agrees to install certain telephone equipment for B. This is a listed service under Industry Number 1731 and is therefore subject to the contractor's excise tax.
2. (2) C contracts with D, a dentist, to install a new dental chair in D's office. This is not a listed service. To determine whether excise tax or sales tax applies, it must first be determined whether or not the dental chair is a fixture. If it is a fixture, it is subject to the contractor's excise tax; if not, it is sales taxable.
