Re: Request for Ruling/Retail Sales and Use Tax
Foster Care Children


Dear****************

This will reply to your letter dated May 31, 1988, in which you requested a ruling as to whether *********** (The Taxpayer) qualifies for exemption from sales and use tax under Va. Code §58.1-608(67).
RULING

Va. Code §58.1-608(67) provides an exemption from retail sales and use tax for:
    • Tangible personal property purchased for use or consumption by an organization exempt from taxation under §501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and organized exclusively for the purpose of providing education, training, services, and assistance in independent living to foster care children and youth without families.
Based on the purpose of your organization as outlined in the Articles of Incorporation and the facts you have provided, I find that your organization qualifies for the exemption cited above. Please note that this exemption applies only to tangible personal property purchased for use and consumption by the Home.

If you have any further questions, please contact the Department.

Sincerely,



W. H. Forst
Tax Commissioner
