In an effort to alert entrepreneurs and small-business owners to the Small Business Sales Tax Exemption for energy, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue has developed a short informational video explaining the program.
"This tax exemption could save a small business anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on energy use. But it is important for small-business owners to know that they have to take it upon themselves to seek this exemption with a timely application," said DOR Commissioner Navjeet K. Bal.
"The new video on DOR's home page (www.mass.gov/dor) is a creative way to get the word out on the availability of this exemption at a time when everyone's energy costs are going up," she said.
Many Massachusetts small-business owners, those with five or fewer employees and gross income less than $1 million, qualify for the sales tax exemption on their energy purchases. The types of energy eligible include electricity, gas, heating fuel and steam.
