A Sales And Use Tax Exemption applies to sales of building materials within any three consecutive years in excess of $250,000 in purchase value used in the construction, renovation, or expansion of facilities that are used exclusively, except for isolated or occasional uses, for the manufacture of tangible personal property for sale.

The Export Tax Credit is available to Vermont businesses that make sales outside Vermont. The company may be eligible to receive a credit equal to the difference between the income tax calculated under the existing state apportionment formula and an alternative formula that double weights the sales factor and disregards throwback provisions.
