Does our unit have to pay State Sales Tax on purchases made soley for the use of our unit?
A Most purchases made exclusively for unit usage can be claimed to be exempt from state sales tax. Use the State Sales Tax Exemption Certification. This works for most merchants but not all, e.g. You will not be able to use this form at a Sams Club unless the membership is set up in the name of your unit. If you find retailers demanding something additional than the Tax Exemption Certification, you may want to secure a tax letter from the State Comptroller.
