How does an organization get a Vermont sales tax exemption?
The only nonprofits recognized by the State of Vermont for sales tax exemption are federally recognized 501(c)(3) organizations. To get a sales tax exemption form, call the Vermont Department of Taxes at (802) 828-2551 and ask for Form S-3-Resale and Exempt Organization registration. It is not sufficient to present an E.I.N. to a Vermont vender (e.g. copy shop, seamstress). The Vermont Department of Taxes will assign a new number to eligible organizations. It is this number that should be presented to vendors.
