Why Multistate Acceptance Matters
If you purchase inventory from suppliers in different states, you need to know which certificate types they'll accept. Using the wrong form can mean paying unnecessary sales tax or having your exemption claim rejected.
The MTC Uniform Sales & Use Tax Certificate is accepted by 38 states, making it ideal for businesses dealing with multiple suppliers. However, some major states like California, Florida, and New York require their own state-specific forms.
Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) member states have standardized their exemption certificates, making compliance easier for e-commerce sellers with nexus in multiple states.
This chart gives you instant clarity on what each state requires, so you can always present the right documentation.
