New Sales and Use Tax Exemption for Recycling Roll Off Containers
Effective July 1, 2018, recycling roll off containers are exempt from sales and use tax when the container:
- Is purchased by a business whose primary business activity is within code 423930 of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) (2007), and
- Is used exclusively for business activities classified under that code.
Business activities under NAICS code 423930 include merchant wholesale distribution of automotive scrap, industrial scrap, and other recyclable materials. For more information on NAICS industry codes, visit census.gov/cgi-bin/sssd/naics/naicsrch.
Purchasers of qualifying containers should provide the seller with a signed certificate certifying the purchaser’s entitlement to the exemption. This certificate will relieve the seller of any potential tax liability on the sale. A sample exemption certificate is provided.
