Welcome CMI-Sales Tax Applicants and Candidates
Pursuing the CMI Professional Designation - a Mark of Distinction in SalesTaxation
The CMI professional designation is a mark of distinction in sales taxation. Earning the CMI designation is both a personal achievement and a credit to the profession. The CMI designation is more than a mere credential; it is a demonstration of expertise in business sales and use taxation.
Since the beginning of the CMI professional designation program in 1984, over 550 sales tax professionals have earned the CMI designation. Currently there are approximately 400 active CMIs working in the business sales and use tax profession. By becoming a CMI you can add to these numbers and have your professional expertise recognized.
The major requirements for the Sales Tax Professional Designation include membership in the Institute, sales and use, excise, and/or gross receipts tax experience, attainment of prescribed educational requirement, and successful completion of both comprehensive written and oral examinations. In addition, after attaining the Sales Tax designation, certified members are required to continue their professional education by attendance at IPT and other approved educational programs
