SALES AND USE TAX EXCULSION PROGRAM FOR MANUFACTURERS
Sales and Use Tax Exclusion (STE) Program, from the California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority, excludes from sales and use taxes purchases of Qualified Property:
- if its use is either to process Recycled feedstock or using Recycled feedstock in the production of another product or soil amendment, or
- that is used in an Advanced Manufacturing process, or
- that is used to manufacture Alternative Source products or Advanced Transportation Technologies.
Eligible manufacturers planning to construct a new manufacturing facility or expand or upgrade a currently existing manufacturing facility may apply to CAEATFA for an STE award, and if approved, the purchases of Qualified Property for the project are not subject to state and local sales and use tax.
The STE is available to the following four categories of manufacturers in California:
- Alternative Source product manufacturers,
- manufacturers of Advanced Transportation Technologies,
- Advanced Manufacturers, and
- manufacturers that process Recycled feedstock or utilize Recycled feedstock in the production of another product or soil amendment.
Manufacturers of components of Alternative Sources and Advanced Transportation Technologies are also eligible if the component constitutes a “Green Component”, defined as the component or system within Advanced Transportation Technologies or Alternative Source products that is responsible for or required to enable the increase in energy efficiency, Alternative Source generation, or pollution reduction.
If you have any questions about the application process, please contact Matt Jumps at (916) 651-5103.
