Vermont Sales Tax Setup for Corporation, LLC, LLP

If you're subject to Sales or Use tax you must register with the Department of Taxes. Vermont Sales Tax applies on tangible personal property retail sales. The sales tax rate is 6%. Vermont Use Tax is imposed on the buyer at the same rate as the sales tax. The use tax is due if the seller collects no tax on a taxable purchase. This situation occurs when the seller is not registered with the Vermont Department of Taxes to collect tax. An out-of-state vendor must register and collect sales tax if they made sales of at least $100,000 or made 200 individual transactions during any preceding twelve-month period. Note: SaaS is not considered a taxable service in Vermont. Nonprofits may submit an exemption certificate to be exempt from Sales Tax on items sold by the organizations for charitable purposes. The exemption applies only to items purchased for resale and does not apply to items purchased by an organization for its own use.
