VGCC South Campus hosts Tax Seminar for Nonprofits

The Vance-Granville Community College Small Business Center, in partnership with the North Carolina Department of Revenue, will present a free seminar about sales tax refunds for nonprofit organizations on Tuesday, Sept. 9, from 2 until 4 p.m. at the college’s South Campus (1547 South Campus Drive, Creedmoor).

This hands-on workshop is intended to help nonprofits better understand the step-by-step process for requesting a sales and use tax refund. The official term is the “Nonprofit and Governmental Entity Claim for Refund of State and County Sales and Use Taxes.”

Under state law — G.S. 105-164.14(b) — certain nonprofit entities qualify for semiannual refunds of sales and use taxes they pay on direct purchases and leases of tangible personal property and certain services for use in carrying on the work of the nonprofit entity, other than those exceptions set forth by statute.

For more information, contact the Small Business Center at smallbusiness@vgcc.edu  or (252) 738-3240 . Interested participants may register online at www.dornc.com/business .
