Tax-Exempt Status Information
General Sales Tax Information
Sales tax is a destination tax in the United States. The ship-to-state on the order determines the sales tax rate.
Please note that business licenses or business permits are not considered acceptable documentation to exempt purchases from sales tax.
Types of Sales Tax Certificates
Reseller certificate
These are the type in which, as described above, the products are purchased wholesale and resold at retail. In some cases, a business buys products that are used in a product being sold. Building contractors are a common example; they buy building materials used in construction. The purchase of these materials might qualify for a reseller’s permit.
Exemption certificate
A sales tax exemption certificate is for an exemption from sales tax for a specific type of product. For example, some states exempt the purchase of computers for resale. States vary in the products and services that may be considered exempt from sales tax. Some states, like California, distinguish between reseller certificates and exemption certificates.
