Is a purchase considered exempt from sales tax if it is made with personal funds (i.e. personal check/credit card) when the purchase is being made for a valid business reason?
No. Although the purchase is being made for a valid business purpose, individuals are not exempt from the PA state sales tax. CMU’s exemption is only valid if the purchase is made directly with CMU funds. The sales tax exemption cannot be transferred. Individuals should make every attempt to make business purchases directly with CMU funds to take advantage of the sales tax exemption status.
