Sales tax is dealt with on a state by state basis, you would have to look at the laws for your individual state. Mostly likely a chapter would qualify for sales tax exempt status. Luxury taxes are almost always still applicable, but again, check you state. I know this is true for VA and (assuming a chapter is treated like a Girl Scout troop) PA as well.

Hi,
Anyone know how APO can be exempt from excise taxes (I'm thinking sales
taxes & luxury taxes, so we don't pay hotel tax, for example)? Would
each chapter have to apply to each state (it seems that a 501(c)(3)
organization must apply to each state), or could national or the regions
do it? I'm thinking each chapter would apply to the states where their
regional conferences are held and that 2 years is enough lead time to
apply to the state holding the next national convention. This could be
significant savings for members & chapters (members would reimburse the
chapter if the chapter weren't footing the bill, so it is an
organizational expense, especially if all in 1 room were
advisers/Actives/pledges of 1 chapter).
