Texas Agricultural Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate


Commercial agricultural producers must use this form to claim exemption from Texas sales and use tax when buying, leasing or renting
qualifying agricultural items they will use exclusively in the production of agricultural products for sale.

You cannot use this form to claim exemption from motor vehicle tax when buying motor vehicles, including trailers. To claim motor
vehicle tax exemption, you must give a properly completed Texas Motor Vehicle Tax Exemption Certificate for Agricultural and Timber
Operations (Form 14-319) to the vehicle’s seller or dealer. You must also claim the exemption on the Application for Texas Title (Form
130-U) when titling or registering the vehicle with the local County Tax Assessor-Collector.

This form is not required when purchasing the following types of agricultural items:
• horses, mules and work animals commonly used in agricultural production;
• animal life, the products of which ordinarily constitute food for human consumption, such as cows, goats,
sheep, chickens, turkeys and pigs;
• feed for farm and ranch animals, including oats, corn, chicken scratch and hay; and
• seeds and annual plants, the products of which are commonly recognized as food for humans or animals
(such as corn, oats and soybeans) or are usually only raised to be sold in the regular course of business
(such as cotton seed).
All other purchases of agricultural items require this properly completed form to claim a sales tax exemption. See the back of this form for
examples of exempt and taxable items.

number and expiration date. You can also accept it as a blanket certificate covering all sales made during the time this
certificate is valid on qualifying items that can reasonably be used to produce agriculture products for sale.

use tax on purchases that do not qualify for the exemption(s), in addition to any applicable interest and penalties.
I understand that it is a criminal offense to issue an exemption certificate to the seller for taxable items that I know will be used in a
manner that does not qualify for the exemptions found in Tax Code Section 151.316. The offense may range from a Class C misdemeanor
to a felony of the second degree.
