Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate

A Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate is a document that allows eligible buyers to purchase goods and services without paying sales tax at the time of purchase. It is used mainly by businesses, nonprofits, or certain organizations that qualify for tax exemptions under state laws. The certificate certifies that the purchase is for a tax-exempt purpose, helping avoid double taxation when the item is sold or used. It must be provided to the seller before the transaction to ensure exemption is properly applied, and it remains valid until revoked or expired.
