Tax Exemption

With a June 2018 Supreme Court ruling (South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., Overstock.com, Inc., and Newegg, Inc.), a change was made to the state sales tax obligations for all companies selling remotely through websites and catalogs. As a result of the decision, Acme Tools must collect and remit sales tax in all states that require tax remittance.

Acme Tools charges sales tax on orders for taxable items per applicable state and local tax laws. The amount of sales tax charged depends on several factors, including the item purchased, the destination of the order, and the location from which your order is shipped.

A sales tax exemption certificate is a document that enables a purchaser to make tax-free purchases that would be subject to sales tax. The purchaser fills out the certificate and gives it to the seller. The seller keeps the certificate on file so the purchaser can purchase without being charged sales tax.

Each state charging sales tax maintains an agency responsible for administrating its sales tax system. The agency or tax authority issues exemptions to qualified businesses. Please reference your State Department of Revenue service for more information about exemption requirements.

A resale certificate is a form utilized by businesses that purchase goods they intend to sell. This form is also referred to as an exemption certificate in some states. It is a written statement that the business will not use the goods for personal use before reselling them. It is also used when purchasing goods for this purpose. Using this permit, you will not be subjected to sales tax. You will be asked for this certificate as proof when you purchase products from Acme Tools. Certificate verification is required before an order is considered tax-exempt.

For more information about tax exemption requirements, please reference your State Department of Revenue service online website.

To ensure your tax exemption status is applied to your online order, checkout using a registered online account and have a tax exemption certificate on file with Acme Tools. If these two factors are met, you will receive a tax exemption approval email from Acme Tools. The taxes associated with your online purchase will be waived where applicable and appear on your invoice.
