Charges for gift certificates or gift cards are not subject to sales and use tax, pursuant to G.S. 105-164.4, at the time of initial sale for the gift certificate or gift card. When the holder of a gift certificate or gift card redeems the gift certificate or gift card for items, as the term item is defined in G.S. 105-164.3, the transaction is subject to the same sales and use taxes applicable to the item as if it were purchased without a gift certificate or gift card.
