Re: Request for Ruling: Sales and Use Tax


Dear***********

This will reply to your letter dated July 20, 1988, in which you requested a ruling as to whether your organization qualifies for exemption from the tax.
FACTS

*********("The Taxpayer"), provides rehabilitative and therapeutic services (speech and language testing, audiology, head injury reintegration and physical therapy) to children and adults .
RULING

Virginia Code §58.1-608(50), provides an exemption from the tax for:
    • Tangible personal property purchased by a voluntary health organization exempt from taxation under §501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and organized exclusively for the purpose of providing direct therapeutic and rehabilitative services, such as speech therapy, physical therapy...to the children and adults of the Commonwealth regardless of the nature of their disease or socio-economic position.
Based on the purpose of your organization as outlined in the facts you have provided, I find that your organization qualifies for the exemption cited above. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Sincerely,




W. H. Forst
