H-360 STATE SALES TAX EXEMPTION (OCT 2003) (a) The contractor's price shall not include state sales tax, unless the location of the contractor's business is in a state that does not afford the Federal Government a tax exemption status under its state and local laws (e.g., Arizona, Hawaii). The contract price excludes all state and local taxes levied on or measured by the contract or sales price of the services or materials furnished under this contract. (b) To the extent that the guidance in FAR Part 31 and DFARS Part 231 applies to this contract, such tax or duty shall not constitute an allowable cost under this contract, unless specifically permitted by the Contracting Officer.
