INSTRUCTIONS: UTAH SALES TAX EXEMPT CONTRACT (Form TC-73)

When a Utah religious or charitable organization enters into a purchasing agreement with a seller, they may file a form TC-73 to ensure that all purchases made are exempt from sales tax. By filing and submitting the form jointly, both parties are certifying that the seller will not charge sales tax on purchases made for the purpose of charitable or religious activities and that the organization will give the seller their Utah sales tax exemption number at the time of every purchase. This form can be obtained from the website of the Utah State Tax Commission. This document is not to be confused with form TC-721, which is an exemption certificate issued to qualified state businesses engaged in sales, use, tourism and motor vehicle practices.
