Direct Payment Permits (DPP) are available on the RTX Supplier Portal for all RTX business units. Direct payment permits must be provided to our suppliers so they do not invoice RTX sales tax on our purchases. The DPPs can only be used by the RTX legal entity that is issued the DPP and who is making purchases that are shipped to the state that authorized the DPP.
DPPs typically cover most purchases but please review the DPP for any types of purchases that are excluded from the DPP being used. If exclusions are indicated on the DPP you must pay the supplier sales tax.
A DPP is not an exemption certificate. Providing a DPP to suppliers does not mean the purchase transaction is exempt. A DPP shifts the requirement from our suppliers to collect sales tax and places the responsibility for the RTX BUs to accrue the appropriate amount of use tax on our purchases. The responsibility for paying the use tax falls on the RTX BUs. If the transaction is deemed taxable then the RTX business unit will self-assess the use tax and report it directly to the state.
Select the business unit and ship to state for which a DPP is needed
