Tax Information

When using certain types of cards, Government cardholders are exempt from taxes on their purchases. Transactions against Federal Government accounts made within the United States that are directly paid by the Government (CBA) are exempt from state and local taxes.

You can find important tax information that will help guide your business on the different types of accounts within the GSA SmartPay program.  Click here for instructions on how taxes should be treated for each account specific to your state.


The GSA SmartPay® program provides charge cards to agencies/departments throughout the U.S. government, as well as tribal governments, through master contracts that are negotiated with major national banks.

SmartPay® Charge Cards are for Official U.S. Government usage only.
