The Virginia St 11A form, officially known as the Commonwealth of Virginia Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption, serves a critical function for construction contractors and non-manufacturers. This form allows eligible purchasers to buy tangible personal property without incurring sales and use tax, provided the purchases are for specific exempt purposes outlined in Virginia law. When completing the form, the purchaser must indicate the supplier’s name, address, and the date of the transaction, along with certifying the exempt purpose for which the items will be used. The form includes several categories of exemption, such as machinery used in manufacturing, equipment for agricultural production, and state-certified pollution control equipment. Each category specifies the type of tangible personal property that qualifies for tax exemption, ensuring that purchasers understand the limitations and requirements. Additionally, it is essential to note that the certificate can only be used for a particular project and becomes invalid after the project's completion date. Suppliers must maintain a properly executed certificate for each project to comply with tax regulations. Understanding the nuances of the Virginia St 11A form is vital for contractors and non-manufacturers to navigate tax exemptions effectively and avoid potential penalties.
