Did you know that exemption certificates don't last forever? 🗓️
While some states issue blanket certificates with no expiration, many states enforce hard multi-year limits (e.g., 3 to 5 years), after which a new certificate must be re-issued and collected.
If you rely on a certificate collected in 2021 for a 2026 transaction, an auditor can reject the exemption entirely—leaving you on the hook for the uncollected tax, plus interest and penalties.
Establishing a proactive annual renewal workflow prevents these silent compliance gaps from compounding over time.
