Corpus Christi, Texas 78416
Dear Mr. Leyba:
Effective June 27, 1985, Universal Little League Incorporated is exempt from Texas franchise..
tax and sales and use tax as a 501(c)(3) group organization. The exemption does not extend to
hotel occupancy tax.
We have assigned Texas taxpayer n inbeaal 4i8236172`to the organization. Please reference
this number in correspondence with us. The assignment of the taxpayer number does not mean
the organization is permitted to collect or remit Texas taxes. Exempt organizations must collect
taxes on most of their sales. Please give our Tax Assistance section a call at 1- 800 - 252 -5555 if
you need a sales tax permit.
The sales tax exemption extends to goods and services purchased for use by your organization.
The exemption does not apply if the purchase is for the personal benefit of an individual or .
private party, or is not related to the organization's exempt purpose. For more information,
please see our publication # 96 -122, Exempt Organizations — Sales and Purchases.
The enclosed exemption certificate can be issued instead of paying tax when buying taxable
items related to the exempt purpose of the organization. Make as many copies of the exemption
certificate as you need. The exemption certificate does not need a taxpayer number to be valid,
but you may provide your taxpayer number if the seller requests it.
Changes to the organization's registered agent and registered office address must be filed with
the Texas Secretary of State. The changes can be made online at
http: / /www.sos. state .tx.us /corp /sosda/index.shtml or you can download the forms and
instructions from http: / /www.sos. state .tx.us /corp /nonprofit.shtml. You can also contact them at
corpinfo@sos.state.tx.us or by calling (512) 463 -5582. It is important to maintain current
reered agent information, because this is how we will contact you if we have reason to
believe that your organization no longer qualifies for exemption.
Our goal is to provide you with prompt, professional service. Please take a moment to complete
the enclosed survey. If it is more convenient, you may complete our on -line survey at
http: / /aixtcp. cpa.state.tx.us /surveys/tpsury /.
If you have any questions, write to us at exempt.orgs@cpa.state.tx.us, or call us toll -free at
1 -800- 531 -5441, extension 3 -4689. Also, our publications and other helpful information are

This is the reply from Becky in Williamsport. You need to send her the leagues EIN Number (it is the number
from the IRS that is on your leagues checking account). That will getthe IRS letter. As for my letter in good
standing you need to get the attached Tournament Enrollment form filled out with what you had in tournament in
2005 and have the President and Player Agent sign it to comply with the background check requirement. Once I
recieve that to send to Headquarters I will get the letter out.

Probably all they need is the 501(c)(3) confirmation letter from me along with the 3 -page Letter of Determination
from the IRS that I can issue as soon as they provide me with their federal Employer Identification Number
(E.I.N.) issued to their league by the IRS. I can send the confirmation letters directly to the league or to your
office, whichever they /you prefer.
This league is in good standing for the 2005 season all except for not sending in a tournament enrollment form
with the signatures that they completed background checks. I've attached a form for that purpose which is a
requirement whether or not they participated in tournament. This league will be placed on 2006 Noncompliance
Hold until the proper signatures are received.
Please have them e-mail their E.I.N. and I can issue the confirmation letter since that is a separate issue from the
noncompliance matter. If they have any questions. let me know
Thanks.
