Are purchases of clothing and supplies made with Red Cross or FEMA vouchers and debit cards exempt from the sales tax?
Yes. The Red Cross is an instrumentality of the United States and FEMA is a federal agency, both of which are exempt from state sales tax on their direct purchases. The Department treats vouchers and debit cards issued by the two agencies, for sales tax purposes, to be the equivalent of the agencies’ direct purchases.
