Roanoke College is exempt from Virginia Retail Sales and Use Tax.
We apply for this exemption every five years through the Virginia Department of Taxation, and we must comply with the state's requirements to maintain the exemption.
The main requirements for exemption are that the tax exemption certificate must be presented to the vendor, and that payment for goods must be made directly from College funds - that is, with a College check or a credit card issued in the College's name.
