Mining: Production Exemption

Do you own or operate a mine that removes minerals from the earth and processes those minerals for sale? Or are you a custom miner that performs qualifying services for a miner? If so, you might qualify for the production exemption.

If you qualify for the production exemption, you can buy some equipment and supplies without paying sales or use tax.
