standards for the granting and maintaining of such status. All invoices 
shall be held by the contractor for a period of five years and shall be 
subject to audit by the director of taxation. If any materials purchased

building or other project or not to have been returned for credit or the sales 
or compensating tax otherwise imposed upon such materials that will not 
be so incorporated in the building or other project reported and paid by 
such contractor to the director of taxation not later than the 20
th

certificate for any purpose other than that for which such a certificate is 
issued without the payment of the sales or compensating tax otherwise 
imposed upon such materials, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon 
conviction therefor, shall be subject to the penalties provided for in K.S.A. 
79-3615(h), and amendments thereto;
(e) all sales of tangible personal property or services purchased by a 
contractor for the erection, repair or enlargement of buildings or other

When the government of the United States, its agencies or 
instrumentalities shall contract for the erection, repair, or enlargement of 
any building or other project, it shall obtain from the state and furnish to 
the contractor an exemption certificate for the project involved, and the
