If you do not know absolutely that the organization is a 501(c) (3) and 170(c), or cannot prove it, the organization does not qualify, and this question must be answered “No”.) Yes No [ ] [ ] Is this purchase billed directly to the organization and paid for directly by the organization from funds of the organization? Purchases by governmental employees using cash, personal checks or credit cards issued to individuals are not direct purchases by the government and are not tax exempt.

Proof of payment with organization funds is required.

Note: The hotel should keep this affidavit on file as proof of exemption, along with proof of payment with organization funds documentation.

Instructions for Use of Affidavits These instructions are applicable for both the Charitable or Religious Affidavit and the Governmental Affidavit. Both of the affidavits require that the goods are sold directly to the charitable, religious or governmental agency and payment is made directly from those organization’s funds. Please be sure this is the case before asking for completion of the appropriate affidavit. This affidavit is intended to assist the vendor in maintaining documentation that will be needed to verify whether a transaction is exempt. The sale is not exempt from taxes simply because this affidavit is completed. The responsibility for proper collection of the taxes remains with the vendor. The ordinance provides that if the vendor and purchaser disagree on the application of the tax, the vendor must collect the tax. The vendor should give the purchaser a receipt showing the taxes collected. The purchaser then has 60 days to file a claim for refund directly with the City for recovery of the tax. The claim for refund form can be obtained from the Treasury web site. The affidavits need to be completed in their entirety. Be sure information is complete, accurate and legible. Review the information being sure the Driver’s License Number and customer’s name are correct. Also the digits that are required from the credit cards are correct. Only record and keep those digits from the credit card that the affidavit requires. The signature of the customer should be the same as on the driver’s license. Charitable organizations must include a copy of the letter provided to them by the City stating they may make purchases without payment of the tax. Churches usually will not have a letter. The Church may be exempt upon accurate completion of the Charitable or Religious Affidavit. For purchases by the federal government using a credit card please see City and County of Denver Tax Guide Topic 91 entitled “Credit Cards from Governmental Organizations”. It explains which of the credit cards can be used for purchases of tangible personal property. It also explains how the numbering system can be used to identify if the federal government is paying for the purchase (not taxable) or the individual is paying for the purchase (taxable).
