Notes

In addition to a state use tax assessed to the cardholder, the state of Arizona can also assess a transaction privilege tax on the merchant.

Notes for the transaction privilege tax:

  • All merchants doing business in the state of Arizona are subject to the transaction privilege tax.
  • Merchants doing business with the federal government, where a CBA is used in the transaction, can request an exemption from the transaction privilege tax.
  • The merchant is not required to process the exemption form.
  • Should the merchant choose not to request an exemption, the state allows the transaction privilege tax to be passed along from the merchant to the cardholder.
  • This is allowable, as the transaction privilege tax is not a state sales tax.
