  • The "Reseller Certificates" remain valid for the 1% Municipal Sales Tax exemption;
  • The "Certificate for Exempt Purchases and Services Subject to the 4% Special-SUT" (Form 2916) remains temporarily in effect until further notice and will serve as a certificate of exempt purchases for VAT purposes.
  • Eligible Reseller Certificates" expire June 30, 2016 regardless of their expiration date.  After June 30, 2016 these merchants will be fully subject to VAT.
  •  A new web based portal (SURI) would be available for all tax filings and the first filing is July 20th, 2016;
