Sales Tax & Tax Exemption FAQ
In order to qualify for a wholesale account, you must have a current tax-exempt certificate on file with us. As a wholesaler, we do not collect sales tax on behalf of the various states. We cannot set you up with an account until we have the certificate on file.
Q: What is a Tax Exemption Certificate / Reseller Permit?
A: A Tax Exemption Certificate (sometimes also called a Reseller Certificate, or Reseller Permit) is a simple form issued by your state that sales tax exempt businesses and organizations can fill out and submit to a vendor so that vendor will not charge sales tax on orders. Organizations that are naturally tax exempt (churches, government agencies, etc) and organizations purchasing product for resale or for product inputs (professional growers, businesses reselling seeds, etc) are examples. The regulations vary by state and each State Tax Department is responsible for issuing tax exemptions to qualifying businesses (sales tax certificate, sales tax id number, etc.). Check with your State's Tax Authority for more details.
