Sales Tax Exemption Application and Policies
We accept sales tax exemption certificates from resellers, non-profit organizations, and government organizations.
Application Procedure
Upload your exemption certificate below. Our team reviews the documents and assigns the exempt states for you, so you do not need to work that out before submitting.
Accepted documents are PDFs or images (up to 10 files, 10MB each). Typical documents include a resale certificate, a state issued exemption certificate, or a government purchase exemption letter.
Application Approval Process
Every submission lands in our review queue and is reviewed by a person. You will get an email either way: an approval email listing the states your exemption now covers, or a rejection email explaining what was missing.
If your account email is on a company domain, approving your certificate exempts every account on that domain, current and future, so your colleagues do not each have to file separately. Personal email domains (gmail, yahoo, and similar) are shared by unrelated people, so those approvals apply to your account only.
How Exemption Applies to Your Orders
- Exemption applies to the states named on your approved certificate. Orders shipping elsewhere are still taxed.
- It applies to orders placed after approval. An order you already placed is not retroactively adjusted here, so contact your SCW representative about it.
- Certificates expire. If yours is renewed or your exempt states change, submit the new document the same way and we will update your account.
Questions
If you are not sure whether your organization qualifies, or you need help with the paperwork, contact your SCW representative or reach us through our contact page.
