RE: Sales Tax Exemption
Your Consumer’s Certificate of Exemption (DR-14) entitles you to make purchases without paying sales tax only under the following circumstances:
- Member must present copy of Consumer’s Certificate of Exemption when making purchase.
- Purchase must be made for Civic Association use only, not for resale.
- Purchase must be made with Civic Association funds.
- Purchases made by members with personal funds to be reimbursed by the Civic Association are TAXABLE purchases, even if member presents copy of Certificate of Exemption.
- Only the Gift Shop may purchase items for resale using the Annual Resale Certificate (DR-13) issued to them.
- Continue to collect and pay sales tax on Gift Shop sales and taxable facility rentals.
