Qualified manufacturing equipment and machinery, whether inside or outside of a State-designated Enterprise Zone, is 100% exempt from state and local sales tax paid on purchases of qualified machinery and equipment. Included in the criteria is that the machinery or equipment be used directly in the manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or repair of tangible personal property to be sold. These exemptions are based on compliance with statutes administered by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. The business files a certificate of exemption with the State Comptrollers office to receive the exemption.
