| PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REGARDING NEW SALES TAX LAWS AS IT RELATES TO AGRICULTURE EXEMPTIONS BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 2012. Beginning Jan. 1, 2012, all purchasers, including non-Texas residents, must have a valid Ag/Timber Number issued by the Texas State Comptroller to claim exemption from Texas tax. Purchasers who do not have a valid number must pay tax to suppliers at the time of purchase. The purchaser may then apply for a number, and, upon approval, may submit a refund claim for the purchased item directly to the Comptroller's office. Purchasers who do not have a valid registration number at the time of purchase may not request a refund directly from the supplier. THERE WILL BE NO AGRICULTURE OR TIMBER EXEMPTIONS ALLOWED WITHOUT THIS REGISTRATION NUMBER. In addition to the valid Ag/Timber Number, bidders must also complete the Texas Agriculture Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate (Form 01-924 - This form can be found on our website by clicking on the Help Menu and then Forms.) This form should be properly completed and sent in each time a bidder wishes to claim an agricultural exemption on purchases. Please note that some items DO NOT qualify for sales and use tax exemptions for agricultural purposes, even if you have the registration number. If we deny your request for a sales tax exemption, at your request, we will provide you with a Form 00-985 Assignment of Right to Refund and you may apply for your sales tax refund directly from the State of Texas. For information regarding sales and use tax in Texas, go to www.window.state.tx.us. WE HAVE UPDATED OUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS SECTION IN OUR HELP MENU. PLEASE REFER TO THIS SECTION FOR INFORMATION REGARDING SALES TAX EXEMPTIONS FOR RESALE, EXEMPT PURPOSES, EXPORT AND OTHER INSTANCES. |
