Sales and use tax deferral programs
Deferral programs authorize businesses the ability to postpone payment of sales and use taxes based on meeting specific requirements and performance criteria. Some deferral programs require repayment.
Once an application for a deferral program is filed and approved, businesses will be granted a tax deferral certificate which must be provided to vendors and contractors to defer sales or use tax.

Biotechnology and medical device manufacturers (No longer accepting applications)
