General Information
Under the provisions of ARS § 42-5167, a use tax direct payment permit may be issued to a taxpayer
that has annual out-of-state purchases of tangible personal property that exceeds $500,000 during the
immediately preceding calendar year. A valid use tax permit will allow the holder to self-assess and pay
directly to the Department the use tax due for all tangible personal property subject to use tax. The permit
will be effective upon the date it is issued by the Department. A vendor subject to Transaction Privilege
Tax shall not accept a Direct Payment Permit to relieve the vendor of its liability for Transaction
Privilege Tax.
Upon approval, the Department will issue a numbered direct payment permit. The permit holder should
issue a copy of the permit to an out of state vendor of tangible personal property with a completed
Arizona Form 5000 identifying the reason on line 19, as “Direct Payment Permit” and including the permit
number issued. An out-of-state vendor that accepts a completed Arizona Form 5000 and a copy of the
Department’s issued Direct Payment Permit is relieved of the responsibility to collect and remit Arizona use
tax due on sales of tangible personal property to the permit holder. (See TPP 00-3, for the proper use of
exemption certifi cates). The permit holder is liable for accruing and remitting the applicable Arizona use
tax to the Department. The Department will publish a list of Use Tax Direct Payment Permit holders
and their TPT license number on its Internet website.
The Department may revoke a direct payment permit if the permit holder does not fi le a TPT-1 on time,
does not pay the use tax on time, or otherwise fails to comply with the Transaction Privilege and Use Tax
Laws.
