Connecticut tax laws allow certain governmental agencies to purchase items exclusively for the purposes for which the agency was established. However, such an organization may not use this exemption to purchase meals and lodgings unless it plans to resell these at certain fundraising or social events. As a seller, you are not supposed to know if the government agency with which you are contracting qualifies. The seller should keep the certificate for at least six years from the date of the transaction.
