Eligibility for Tax Exemption

Sales tax is a tax imposed by state and local governments on the sale of goods and services.

To qualify for a sales tax exemption, you must represent one of the following exempt entities:

• For-resale businesses: You are purchasing goods for the purpose of reselling them to your customers.
• Governmental bodies: This includes federal, state, and local governmental agencies.
• Nonprofit organizations: This includes charitable, educational, and religious institutions that have been granted tax-exempt status.
• Other entities: Some states grant exemptions to manufacturers, farmers, and other qualifying groups.
