Registered student organizations are NOT automatically exempt from paying state sales tax for ALL purchases. To find out if your organization may file to become sales tax exempt, refer to Comptroller of Public Accounts, State Sales, and Use Tax, Rule 3.322 (Texas Tax Code 151.309, 151.310: Texas Civil Statutes, Article 342-908). If your organization is eligible, you must first obtain 501c status from the Internal Revenue Service. It will take several weeks for the forms to be processed by the IRS.
If 501c status is granted, the organization may apply to the state by submitting a letter, a copy of your charter/bylaws, and a copy of your 501c letter of determination from the IRS (if applicable) to the following address:
Tax Policy Division Exempt OrganizationsTexas Comptroller of Public AccountsP.O. Box 13528Austin, Texas 78711-3528
Upon a ruling by the State Comptroller’s Office you will receive a letter allowing or denying exempt status. If exempt status is granted, please inform the Student Activities Office and provide a copy of documentation for your organization’s permanent file.
All sponsored sport clubs are tax exempt through their Recreational Sports accounts. Certain transactions may still incur taxes.
