Are purchases made with a FEMA debit card or FEMA vouchers exempt from Texas sales and use tax?
Yes, goods and taxable services may be purchased tax free with FEMA debit cards or FEMA vouchers. Retailers should keep documentation that the items were purchased with FEMA debit cards or vouchers. Because these are federal government purchases, no further documentation is necessary. If a taxable item is purchased with a combination of a FEMA voucher or debit card and with cash or personal credit or debit card, the retailer should collect tax on the amount of the purchase that was paid for with personal funds, but not on the amount of the voucher or FEMA debit card.
