I live just across the state line in Kentucky. I operate a farm in Kentucky. I buy a lot of my farm equipment and supplies in Tennessee. Can I qualify for the Agricultural Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption?

Yes. Farmers, timber harvesters, and nursery operators that are located outside Tennessee can
apply for and receive the Tennessee Agricultural Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption in the
same manner as in-state farmers, timber harvesters, or nursery operators. Not all states issue
certificates of exemption to farmers, timber harvesters, or nursery operators located in their states.
However, certificates of exemption issued to farmers, timber harvesters, or nursery operators by
other states will not be honored. To make tax-exempt purchases in this state, they will need to apply for the Tennessee Agricultural Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption.
