The Texas Agricultural Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate (Form 01-924) serves as a crucial document for commercial agricultural producers seeking to exempt qualifying purchases from Texas sales and use tax. This form is specifically designed for items that will be utilized exclusively in the production of agricultural products for sale. However, it is important to note that certain purchases, such as motor vehicles, do not qualify for this exemption and require a different certificate to claim tax relief.
The Texas 01-924 form serves as a crucial tool for commercial agricultural producers seeking to claim exemptions from sales and use tax on qualifying agricultural purchases. This form is specifically designed for items that will be used exclusively in the production of agricultural products for sale. It's important to note that this exemption does not apply to motor vehicles, including trailers; for those, a different form, the Texas Motor Vehicle Tax Exemption Certificate for Agricultural and Timber Operations (Form 14-319), must be utilized. Understanding what qualifies for exemption is essential, as certain items like horses, feed, and seeds are always exempt from tax and do not require this certificate. However, all other agricultural purchases necessitate the completion of the 01-924 form to validate the tax exemption. Both purchasers and retailers have responsibilities when using this certificate. Purchasers must ensure their items are exclusively for exempt use, while retailers can accept the form in good faith if it’s properly filled out. Misuse of the certificate can lead to significant penalties, highlighting the importance of compliance with Texas tax regulations. Familiarity with exempt and taxable items is key to successfully navigating the agricultural tax landscape in Texas.

Texas Agricultural Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate
Commercial agricultural producers must use this form to claim exemption from Texas sales and use tax when buying, leasing or renting qualifying agricultural items they will use exclusively in the production of agricultural products for sale.
You cannot use this form to claim exemption from motor vehicle tax when buying motor vehicles, including trailers. To claim motor vehicle tax exemption, you must give a properly completed Texas Motor Vehicle Tax Exemption Certificate for Agricultural and Timber Operations (Form 14-319) to the vehicle’s seller or dealer. You must also claim the exemption on the Application for Texas Title (Form 130-U) when titling or registering the vehicle with the local County Tax Assessor-Collector.
This form is not required when purchasing the following types of agricultural items:
•horses, mules and work animals commonly used in agricultural production;
•animal life, the products of which ordinarily constitute food for human consumption, such as cows, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys and pigs;
•feed for farm and ranch animals, including oats, corn, chicken scratch and hay; and
•seeds and annual plants, the products of which are commonly recognized as food for humans or animals (such as corn, oats and soybeans) or are usually only raised to be sold in the regular course of business (such as cotton seed).
All other purchases of agricultural items require this properly completed form to claim a sales tax exemption. See the back of this form for examples of exempt and taxable items.

Proper use of this certificate
Purchasers - You can only use this certificate for items you purchase for exclusive use in an exempt manner. You should be familiar with qualifying items. Any non-agricultural or personal use disqualifies the purchase from exemption. See the back of this form for examples of exempt and taxable items.
Retailers - You can accept this certificate in good faith at the time of sale if it is properly completed with an ag/timber number and expiration date. You can also accept it as a blanket certificate covering all sales made during the time this certificate is valid on qualifying items that can reasonably be used to produce agriculture products for sale.
