Producers Must Renew Tx Ag and Timber Sales Tax Exemption Number by December 31

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts administers the Texas Agricultural and Timber Sales Tax Exemption program, which allows registered agriculture producers to buy certain items without paying sales tax. In accordance with state law, agriculture and timber registration numbers issued by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts must now be renewed every four years. Current registrations are set to expire on Dec. 31, 2015.

In order for agriculture producers to continue claiming their sales tax exemption after Jan. 1, 2016, they must renew their current number with the Texas Comptroller.


Everyone who currently holds a registration number should receive information by mail for renewal.
