Resolution

• Avalara's Content team updated the taxability for this exemption reason to include that some local jurisdictions in Missouri are taxable.

• This is due to those local jurisdictions having specific manufacturing rates.

  • Because some local jurisdictions don't have a rate for seller's use tax in Missouri, you may see those jurisdictions being marked as taxable but with a 0% rate.

• This change was made due to Missouri's new stipulation that Manufacturer's are exempt at the state level but not locals detailed at the state's FAQ webpage.

• If you would like the manufacturer's exemption to be fully exempt, you can create an exempt entity rule or use another exemption reason that is fully exempt in Missouri.
