The Revenue Division of the Department of Finance and
				Administration does not issue any exemption certificates except those expressly
				authorized by the Gross Receipts Tax Act (as amended). Consumers who represent
				to sellers that their purchases of property or services are exempt from tax by
				reason of an exemption for which no exemption certificate is issued must
				conclusively prove entitlement to the exemption to the seller. All permits with
				9000 as the last four digits are withdrawn effective January 1, 1987, and
				holders of said permits should apply to the Sales and Use Tax Section for a new
				permit.
NOTE: Checking with the Department of Finance and
				Administration we were told that the department no longer issues exemption
				certificates. However exemption certificates that were issued in the past have
				not been revoked and are still valid. If a permit number has six or seven
				numbers, a dash and the number 84, another dash and additional numbers it is a
				valid tax exemption certificate.
