Online Registration Instructions:

  • For most businesses, the "RESALE" tax exemption reason is the most appropriate.
  • Please complete a new tax exempt document whenever possible as the states frequently update their forms and an older saved copy of the document may be obsolete. Please do not submit state or federal business registration documents as they are not valid for sale tax exemption.
  • Each submission will be verified with the appropriate state and activated for your account within 1-2 hours during regular business hours.
  • Sales tax exemption documents will expire and need to be renewed every 3 years for most states.  Florida tax exemption forms must be submitted annually.

The 1/1/2019 sales tax collection requirements are in response to the Supreme Court's ruling in the case of South Dakota vs. Wayfair, Inc. in June 2018.

We have partnered with Avalara to manage our sales tax compliance and to insure that we are collecting the required sales tax due to your state, county and city. If you are located in one of the taxable states and your company or organization is registered with your state for sales tax exemption, we will need to have a copy of your exemption certificate on file.

The sale tax exemption system is driven by your email address that was used to register a purchasing account on our website. Once you are signed in to your account, the AvaTax system will recognize your account as tax exempt and no sales tax will be added to your order.
