Frequently Asked Questions
Who may qualify for a sales tax exemption?
You may qualify if you are purchasing products for resale or if your purchases meet certain state exemption requirements. Exemptions may apply to manufacturers, research firms, schools, churches, nonprofit organizations, and others depending on the state.
What documentation do I need to provide?
You’ll need to provide a valid sales tax exemption or resale certificate for the applicable state. Requirements vary by state and exemption type.
Can I use my business license as proof of tax exemption?
No. A business license is not a tax exemption certificate. You’ll need to provide the appropriate exemption or resale certificate to verify your tax-exempt status.
What if my tax-exempt status changes?
It is your responsibility to let us know if your company’s tax-exempt status changes and to provide us with updated documentation when necessary.
What if I’m not sure whether I qualify?
We recommend contacting the state department responsible for sales tax administration for the latest requirements in your state. You can also visit https://www.usa.gov/state-taxes for additional information.
