Mich. Admin. Code R 205.137 — Air and water pollution control facility

Rule 87. (1) Tangible personal property purchased for installation as a component
part of a water pollution control facility or an air pollution control facility for which a tax
exemption certificate is issued by the state tax commission is exempt from sales and use
tax. The exemption is effective for dates on and after the date the certificate is issued by
the state tax commission. If a tax exemption certificate previously issued is revoked by
the state tax commission, the exemption may no longer be claimed beginning on the
effective date of the revocation.
(2) When sales or use tax has been paid on tangible personal property, which later
qualifies for exemption as a result of obtaining a certificate of exemption from the state
tax commission, a refund may be requested by the purchaser upon submission of both of
the following documents to the department of treasury:
(a) A copy of the exemption certificate issued by the tax commission indicating the
approved cost of the tangible personal property installed and entitled to exemption.
(b) A copy of the seller’s invoice showing the name and address of the seller,
identification of purchaser, identification of the items purchased, the date of purchase,
and amount of tax paid to seller.
