What is Exempt?
Certain leases and rentals are exempt from sales tax. The owner or owner’s representative must keep documentation to support the exempt transaction. These transactions are exempt:
• Rental charges or room rates paid by a person who has a signed, bona fide written lease for a continuous residence longer than six months. If there is no written lease, and a person has continuously resided at any one location for a period longer than six months and has paid the tax on the rental charges or room rates due at that location for the first six months, additional charges for continuous residence at that location are tax-exempt.
I stated in my posting that these combined taxes were applicable for rentals of "less than 6 mos"
