  4. SELLING TO TAX EXEMPT CUSTOMERS To sell to customers that are tax-exempt and have a TPT License of their own, you will need to have them each sign (for your records) a form 5000A from the Arizona Department of Revenue.
  5. WHEN YOU FILE YOUR TAXES We are located in the Rio Nuevo District. All retail vendors within the Rio Nuevo District, including gem show vendors, should be placing the code “PAD” in the State-Region column B on the State of Arizona Sales Tax TPT form. By simply putting the code “PAD” in column B, you are telling the Arizona Department of Revenue that you are a qualifying merchant within the Rio Nuevo District. Please see attachment for more information. Please note that it doesn’t cost you anything else.

We give this information as a guide. It is your responsibility to make sure that you have all the necessary permits and licenses.
