Items temporarily withdrawn from stock for demonstration purposes are not subject to tax at the time of withdrawal from stock. When such items are sold at retail, the tax applies. Property withdrawn for purposes other than demonstration, such as for personal use or other commercial use, is subject to the use tax when withdrawn. If it is later sold at retail, it is subject to sales tax on the sale price without any deduction for the use tax paid.
