Most businesses do a good job of collecting exemption certificates from customers, but is that enough? Does that ensure compliance according to state laws? Not according to the experts.
Beyond merely collecting these documents, businesses bear the responsibility of ensuring their validity, keeping them current and well-organized, and making sure they are readily available for audits. This includes demonstrating that the certificate was properly filed at the time of sale.
