North Dakota Century Code Title 57. Taxation § 57-39.4-27. Direct pay permits

Each member state shall provide for a direct pay authority that allows the holder of a direct pay permit to purchase otherwise taxable goods and services without payment of tax to the supplier at the time of purchase.  The holder of the direct pay permit will make a determination of the taxability and then report and pay the applicable tax due directly to the tax jurisdiction.  Each state can set its own limits and requirements for the direct pay permit.  The governing board shall advise member states when setting state direct pay limits and requirements and shall consider use of the model direct payment permit regulation as developed by the task force on EDI audit and legal issues for tax administration.
