To Whom It May Concern:
Section 77.55(1), Wis. Stats. 2007-2008, exempts sales to the United States government
and its agencies from Wisconsin sales tax. An exemption certificate is not required for a
United States government agency to purchase taxable property or services without tax. A
purchase order or invoice identifying the United States governmental agency as the
purchaser should be acceptable evidence of the exemption from sales tax.
However, the seller may request a properly completed Wisconsin Sales and Use Tax
Exemption Certificate (S-211) to be provided by the governmental agency to maintain
record of the sale.
