Urban Enterprise Zones
With regard to urban enterprise zones, CIWA members are concerned with two main issues:

  1. Sales made by a qualified business from the urban enterprise zone are allowed to charge sales tax at 3% (1/2 the regular rate of 6%)
  2. Qualified businesses in the urban enterprise zone may make purchases fully tax exempt for their own use within the zone.

Which Form To Use

  • Form UZ-4 - Contractors Exempt Purchase Certificate, Urban Enterprise Zone
    If a contractor purchases material for work he is doing for a qualified urban enterprise zone business.
  • Form UZ-5 - Urban Enterprise Exempt Purchase Certificate
    If a contractor purchases tangible personal property directly from the wholesaler.
