Exemption Certificate Instructions

This exemption certificate is to be completed by the purchaser claiming exemption from tax and given to the seller. The seller must retain this certificate as

proof that exemption has been properly claimed. The certificate must be complete to be accepted by the seller. The seller can accept an exemption certificate

only on property that is qualified (see the exemptions below) or based on the nature of the buyer. If property or services purchased for resale or processing

are used or disposed of by the purchaser in a nonexempt manner, the purchaser is then responsible for the tax.

Exemptions:

wholesaler and may not be required to have a sales tax permit. Retailers who do have a sales tax permit number must enter it in the space provided.

Processing: Exempt purchases for processing include tangible personal property which by means of fabrication, compounding, manufacturing or germination

becomes an integral part of other tangible personal property ultimately sold at retail; chemicals, solvents, sorbents or reagents used, consumed, dissipated or

depleted in processing personal property intended to be sold ultimately at retail; fuel used to create heat, power or steam for processing or used to generate

electric current; and chemicals used in the production of free newspapers and shoppers.

1. a self-propelled implement such as a tractor

2. a grain dryer (heater and blower only)

3. an implement customarily drawn or attached to a self-propelled implement in the performance of its function, such as a plow

4. auxiliary equipment improving safety, maintenance and efficiency of items 1, 2, 3

5. tangible personal property that does not become a part of real property used directly and primarily in dairy and livestock operations

6. an essential replacement part for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

7. bailing wire, twine, wrapping and other similar items used in agricultural, livestock or dairy production
