Connecticut Contractor's Exempt Purchase Certificate

A sales tax exemption certificate can be used by businesses (or in some cases, individuals) who are making purchases that are exempt from the Connecticut sales tax. You can download a PDF of the Connecticut Contractor's Exempt Purchase Certificate (Form CERT-141) on this page. For other Connecticut sales tax exemption certificates, go here.

If a contractor is making a purchase as part of a contract with an exempt entity, he is not subject to Connecticut's sales tax. Sub-contractors making the purchase also qualify for the exemption. Sellers are required to retain a copy of the certificate for at least six years after the purchase. This exemption can be availed only if the goods are supposed to stay within the completed project with the exempt entity. You cannot use this exemption for perishable goods.
