INSTRUCTIONS: This exemption applies to “freeport goods” as governed by Texas Constitution, Article VIII, Section 1-j and Tax Code, Section 11.251. The exemption
applies to items in your inventory that (1) are or will be forwarded out of Texas within 175 days of the date you acquire them or bring them into Texas and (2) are in
Texas for assembling, storing, manufacturing, repair, maintenance, processing or fabricating purposes. The exemption does not apply to oil, natural gas, or liquid or
gaseous materials that are immediate derivatives of refining of oil or natural gas. The phrase “liquid or gaseous materials that are the immediate derivatives of the
refining of oil or natural gas” is defined in Comptroller Rule 9.4201. The amount of the exemption for this year is normally based on the percentage of your inventory
made up by such goods last year.
You must file the completed exemption application form between January 1 and no later than April 30 of the year for which you are requesting an exemption.
You must furnish all information required by the application. You may file a late application up to midnight the day before the appraisal review board approves the
appraisal records for the year for which you are requesting an exemption. Pursuant to Tax Code, §11.4391, if you do file a late application and your application
is approved, you are liable to each taxing unit for a penalty equal to 10 percent of the difference between the amount of tax imposed by the taxing unit on the
inventory or property, a portion of which consists of freeport goods, and the amount that would otherwise have been imposed.
You must apply for the exemption in each year you claim an exemption.
