This chapter provides an overview of Tax Exempt Certificates and discusses how to work with Tax Exempt Certificate information.
Various types of organizations are exempt from paying sales tax, state hotel occupancy tax and, if incorporated, franchise tax. The exemptions vary, depending upon the type of organization. Organizations include charitable, educational, and religious.
Government entities are frequently asked to provide a tax-exempt number or determination letter to prove status as a tax-exempt or charitable entity. For example, applications for grants from a private foundation or a charitable organization generally require this information as part of the application process. In addition, donors frequently ask for this information as substantiation that the donor’s contribution is tax deductible, and vendors may ask for this to substantiate that the organization is exempt from sales or excise taxes.
Note. Exemption from sales taxes is made under state, not Federal, law.
Tax exemption details are displayed and maintained on the Company, Consumer, and Site components. Updates to the Tax Exempt Certificate information is published to Supply Chain Management.
