How do I place a tax-exempt order with Smith-Root?
Provide proof of tax-exempt status
Smith-Root charges sales tax on orders shipped to Washington State addresses. To remove the sales tax from your order, provide Smith-Root Sales with a resale or exemption certificate from Washington State.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) oversees federal taxes. Sales tax is regulated by individual states. All orders are subject to tax unless proof of tax-exempt status is provided. Letters from the IRS do not qualify as proof of tax-exempt status.
Smith-Root accepts the following as proof of tax-exempt status:
- Resale certificates
- Multijurisdiction exemption certificate
- Individual state exemption certificate
- Exempt organization certificate
- Direct pay permits
- Manufacturing pay permits
- Government tax-exempt credit card
Placing a tax-exempt order by mail, phone, or fax
You must inform Smith-Root Sales of your tax-exempt status prior to placing an order to validate your exempt status. If you are a government agency using an exempt credit card, please be sure to declare this on your mailed or faxed order. Smith-Root will refund tax for orders placed on the Smith-Root.com Store for exempt customers or resale orders. Please contact Smith-Root Sales and provide proof of tax-exempt status after placing order online.
