1. How can an exempt organization renew an exemption certificate?
All exempt organizations must renew their exemption certificates at MyTax.DC.gov once they have received notice that their exemption is set to expire. While not yet required, OTR encourages all taxpayers to proactively renew their exemption certificates to avoid the possibility of an expiration.
2. Can the new version of the District of Columbia Tax Exempt Certificate be used in the same manner as the old certificate to exempt an organization from tax at a hotel?
Exempt organizations can use their updated exemption certificate in the same manner as the old exemption certificate.
Note: New exemption certificates will have an expiration date printed on the certificate, after which time they will no longer be valid.
3. What if an exempt organization received a renewal notice for exemption?
Exemption organizations may renew their exemptions at MyTax.DC.gov. For questions and assistance, exempt organizations may contact OTR’s e-Service Unit at e-services.otr.dc.gov.
