Delaware Sales Tax Exemptions
Delaware does not have a state sales tax system. Instead, Delaware imposes license and gross receipt taxes on the seller or service provider, which cannot be passed on to the consumer. Therefore, sales tax exemption certificates are not applicable in Delaware.
Notes:
- No state or local sales taxes exist in Delaware
- No sales tax exemption certificates or resale certificates are needed
- Delaware imposes license and gross receipt taxes on sellers instead
- Sales for resale are not exempt from these gross receipt taxes
- Delaware does allow the use of the Multistate Tax Commission (MTC) Uniform Sales Tax Certificate for certain limited purposes
The Delaware Division of Revenue website notes that there are a limited number of exemptions from license and gross receipt taxes, but these apply to the business entities themselves rather than to specific transactions.

Oregon Sales Tax Exemptions
Oregon is one of five states in the U.S. that does not impose a general sales tax (along with Alaska, Delaware, Montana, and New Hampshire). Therefore, there are no sales tax exemption certificates or forms required for purchases made within Oregon.
Notes:
While Oregon has no general sales tax, the state does impose certain selective taxes and fees that function similarly to sales taxes:
- Transit taxes: Some local jurisdictions impose transit taxes on retail sales
- Lodging taxes: Statewide and local taxes on hotel stays and short-term rentals
- Restaurant taxes: Some localities impose taxes on prepared food
- Vehicle privilege tax: A 0.5% tax on new vehicle sales
For these specialized taxes, exemptions may apply in certain circumstances, and vendors should contact the specific taxing authority for exemption information.
Oregon businesses making purchases in other states may need to provide documentation that they are Oregon-based busin

Open Multistate Form Overview & Grid
Multistate tax forms, such as those used by the Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) Agreement, the Multi-state Tax Commission (MTC), and the Border States Caucus (BSC), aim to simplify compliance for businesses operating in multiple states. However, their adoption and utility vary significantly across states due to differing tax policies and structures.
Overview of Key Multistate Tax Forms
Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) Form:
- The SST initiative simplifies sales tax collection for businesses operating in multiple states by standardizing definitions, rates, and filing processes.
- Participating states allow businesses to register through a central system and file returns via Certified Service Providers (CSPs) or directly with the state.
Multi-state Tax Commission (MTC) Form:

Open Border States Caucus (BSC)
The BSC Form
The Border States Uniform Sale for Resale Certificate facilitates tax-exempt purchases for resale in Arizona, California, New Mexico, Texas, and parts of Mexico.
Developed under the NAFTA framework by the Border States Caucus (BSC), it simplifies cross-border transactions in the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. Buyers must complete the certificate and provide it to sellers, who must retain it for their records.
As the name indicates, the BSC form is for RESALE only. The BSC form is not available to non-profits, educational, or others entitled to an exemption due to the nature of the organization's purpose.
It applies to tangible goods intended for resale and requires accurate completion to ensure validity. Misuse may result in criminal or civil penalties. Sellers are advised to verify that the goods align with the buyer’s business activities and resale intent. This certificate promotes trade while ensuring compliance with state-specific tax laws.
