If a person purchases exempt private communications and the private communications services are not utilized for communications with a computer or telecommunications center located in this state, by a purchaser that has qualified for the headquarters tax credit provided for in § 67-6-224, or by an affiliate of the purchaser, then the purchaser shall be liable for tax at a rate applicable to the retail sale of the private communications service.
The exemption in subsection (a) shall apply for so long as such qualified headquarters facility is located in this state.
