Payment account guidance

Individually billed account (IBA)
Individual billing does not qualify for the state sales-tax exemption.
Centrally billed account (CBA)
The state sales-tax exemption applies to centrally billed accounts.

These are summaries of the state-specific SmartPay page, not an individual eligibility determination. A government employer or a hotel’s “government rate” does not by itself establish a tax exemption.

Forms and documentation

CERT-134 is listed as an optional Purchase Card form. SmartPay states that federal employees using centrally billed SmartPay 3 cards are not required to provide it to retailers.

Check the applicable official form’s instructions before signing it. This site neither collects nor submits forms. Confirm with the hotel whether documentation should be presented at booking, check-in or another point required by the authority.

State-specific conditions and notes

  • The source's policy-statement label and linked filename disagree, and the URL contains an encoded quotation mark. That inconsistent document link is omitted here; consult SmartPay or Connecticut's tax agency for clarification.

Official documents and contacts

These links were listed by GSA SmartPay in the source snapshot. A link’s presence does not mean every traveler needs that form or qualifies under it.

Keep lodging rates and taxes separate

The CONUS lodging ceiling excludes lodging taxes. The room estimate and any applicable tax exemption are separate checks. The hotel’s state can differ from the state assigned to the work locality in the GSA rate file.

County or municipal occupancy taxes, excise taxes, gross receipts taxes and other charges may have different treatment. This summary must not be read as an exemption from every tax on the bill. Follow the state-specific notes and confirm unresolved questions with the authority.
