Navigating Sales Tax Challenges Facing Federal Government Contractors
July 30, 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT
Every year government contractors are required to make billions of dollars in purchases of products and services in order to fulfill their contracts with the federal government. Many contractors mistakenly believe that they are acting as agents for the federal government and therefore all of their purchases are exempt from sales tax. With respect to claiming resales exemptions on purchases, states have provided limited guidance as to how these exemptions specifically impact purchases by government contractors especially in light of the title passing provisions in most government contracts. A significant number of contractors are also unaware that a few states impose sales tax on contractors’ sales to the federal government.
Join BDO’s State & Local Tax professionals for a webcast that will outline these sales tax issues and provide a framework for understanding them. The focus will be on purchases and sales under federal contracts related to products and non-construction services.
