RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TAX
Equipment used 50% or more directly and exclusively for research and development purposes may be exempt from sales and use tax. A Research and Development Sales/Use Tax Exemption Form must be completed, approved and attached with the supporting documentation to support the exemption. The Research and Development Sales/Use Tax Exemption Form is to be sent to Procurement Services when the requisition is prepared. Please include your Requisition # on the form.
For items not requiring a Purchase Order, the department should maintain the approved form their files with the documentation associated with the purchase.
If you have questions, please contact Accounting Services for further clarification.
