Are nonprofit agencies that are purchasing items for assistance or distribution to hurricane victims exempt from sales tax?
No. There is no special exemption granted by law to either individuals or private nonprofit organizations on their purchases of items to be donated for use in disaster assistance. Some organizations are specifically exempt from sales tax on their purchases, and will be able to provide exemption certificates to their vendors to confirm their exempt status. If legislation is enacted to provide exemption on purchases for use in disaster assistance, information will be posted on the Department’s website.
