[LIBRARYDIR] Sales Tax exemption for databases

[Jacquelyn Ray]

Hi all~

     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! :)

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.

Sorry for the tedious question but I was thinking this group might have the quick/easy answer.

Thank you!
Jackie
