Nonprofit Alert: Sales are not always exempt fundraising sales
Posted 1-29-2010 | By Teri Grahn | Download Article
Sales by nonprofit organizations do not always qualify as exempt fundraising sales. Many not-for-profit organizations make this assumption and unfortunately find out during an audit that they are not compliant. Take time now to make sure your sales qualify. The Minnesota Department of Revenue published a reminder about the exemption laws surrounding fund-raising sales in its December 2009 Sales Tax Newsletter. Please follow the link below and review page 5 to make sure you have a clear understanding of the law. If you have any questions, please contact Teri Grahn, sales and use tax specialist, at
