14. Maine: This state does not have an exemption for sales of property for subsequent lease or rental. This certificate is not valid for
use by manufacturers purchasing tangible personal property that becomes an ingredient or component part of a product manufactured

Md Tax – Gen §11-408(b). All claims for the resale exclusion, even those made with this certificate, must include the Buyer’s Maryland sales and use

certifications
issued to religious
organizations
consist of 8 digits, the first two of which are always

generally liable for sales or use tax on the transaction, even if a purchaser improperly claims an exemption. There
are certain limited situations in which a seller can be liable for the tax, such as those involving fraud on the part of
the seller. For more information, see revenue Administrative Bulletin (RAB) 2016-14.
17. Minnesota: Purchaser’s Minnesota tax identification number should be inserted into the row labeled

name of the state;
Purchaser’s federal Employer identification Number;
The number of Purchaser’s valid state-issued driver’s license, or a valid state-issued
identification number, along with the state of issue.
Purchaser must identify purchaser’s type of business using Minnesota’s business-type coding
system. Check the correct box near the top of page 1. If you check the box labeled
“Other,” provide the appropriate Minnesota business code in the space following the
“Other” check box. You can find a list of Minnesota business codes on the Min nesota
exemption certificate (Form ST3).
Purchaser must update the certificate data, as necessary, if this certificate is to be used as a blanket
exemption certificate for continuing future purchases.
Note that Minnesota allows this certificate to be used to claim a resale exemption only. It does not
permit this certificate to be used to claim any other type of exemption. To claim an
exemption other than resale, use the Minnesota exemption certificate (Form ST3) or
the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board exemption certificate (Form F0003).
