This may come as a surprise to some of you, but there are manufacturers out there who didn’t know that they have really cool exemptions. In most (but definitely not all) states, if you’re a manufacturer, you can invest in machinery, get it repaired, and buy consumables tax free, or at a lower rate. And even in states that aren’t very generous to manufacturers, there still may be some exemptions available.
And it’s not just manufacturers. Here are some other industries where I’ve seen exemptions that other folks at the chamber of commerce mixer don’t get:
Manufacturers
Mining
Common carriers
Funeral directors
Utilities
Radio and TV stations
Movie producers
Photographers
Contractors
So check your state’s laws to see if there might not be some exemptions for your business.
