Charitable Organization State Sales & Use Tax

Charitable organizations are exempt from state sales and use tax. Under current law, the definition of charitable organization for purposes of state sales and use tax includes criteria that mirror the federal definition of a 501(c)(3) organization. The bill requires the department to presume that an organization that presents the department with a 501(c)(3) determination letter from the internal revenue service is a charitable organization for purposes of state sales and use tax.
