Certificate of Exemption
Georgia
Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement
This is a multi-state form. Not all states allow all exemptions listed on this form. Purchasers are responsible for knowing if they qualify
to claim exemption from tax in the state that would otherwise be due tax on this sale. The seller may be required to provide this
exemption certificate (or the data elements required on the form) to a state that would otherwise be due tax on this sale.
The purchaser will be held liable for any tax and interest, and possibly civil and criminal penalties imposed by the member state, if the
purchaser is not eligible to claim this exemption. A seller may not accept a certificate of exemption for an entity-based exemption on a sale
made at a location operated by the seller within the designated state if the state does not allow such an entity-based exemption.
