SALES TAX EXEMPTION
PROCESS SUMMARY

We are a UK-based company that specialises in helping both Non-US and US clients become compliant when selling online in US

By obtaining sales tax exemption as an e-commerce seller, you can significantly increase your profit margins and stand out from your competitors with your pricing. If your business has sales tax exemption in the US, you are no longer required to pay sales tax on your purchases, making your business more profitable. It’s a legal way to claw back on outgoings as you no longer have to swallow or pass on the cost of sales tax to your customers. 

 

Does my online resale business need sales tax exemption?

In short, yes. If you are an online reseller, mostly selling products to other businesses, rather than directly to consumers, your business will benefit from obtaining sales tax exemption. As you buy products for resale, you can cut expenses by not having to pay sales tax on your purchases. There are also other organisations that can be exempt like charities, religious groups, and government bodies.
