<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Schoolbook"">Hi all~<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Schoolbook""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Schoolbook""> I have two database companies asking for tax exemption documentation and it seems we don’t pay sales tax on most of our databases but have not completed a form in the past for these other
vendors. (Which has made me realize that I’ve primarily worked in two of the five states w/o a sales tax!
</span><span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span><span style="font-family:"Century Schoolbook""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Schoolbook""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Schoolbook"">Have any of you experienced this and know the form that I should (if any) use? I’m reviewing a couple of documents from the Department of Revenue: “Digital Products and Remote Access Software
Exemption Certificate” and none of the exemptions seem to precisely apply but I am also reviewing a Special Notice indicating “Online Searchable Databases are Digital Automated Services” which makes this seem applicable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Schoolbook""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Schoolbook"">Sorry for the tedious question but I was thinking this group might have the quick/easy answer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Schoolbook""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
