Who qualifies for a sales tax exemption?

Your organization must be not-for-profit and organized and operated exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, or governmental purposes to qualify for the exemption from state local sales taxes.

Sales tax exemptions are given to schools, governmental bodies, churches, and exclusively charitable organizations.  Exempt status is also granted to licensed nonprofit day care centers, qualifying senior citizens organizations and institutions, and 501(c)3 music or dramatic arts organizations, such as theatrical groups, symphony orchestras, or other performing arts groups.
