Sales tax exemption replaces tax credit

Manufacturers of tangible personal property may qualify for a state sales tax exemption.

A state sales tax exemption replaces the current manufacturers' sales tax credit effective Jan. 1, 2006. The tax exemption applies to natural gas and electricity used in manufacturing tangible personal property in Wisconsin.

Check with your accountant or financial advisor to determine if your business qualifies for this exemption. You may view or download the exemption certificate and instructions on the Wisconsin Department of Revenue's Web site at www.dor.state.wi.us/.

To claim a tax exemption, send us a completed and signed Wisconsin Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate for each service address. Indicate the percentage of natural gas and electric service consumed by manufacturing.

Mail or fax signed certificates to:

Fax: (608) 252-4714
