SALES TAX & EXEMPTIONS

Sales Tax Policy: Bulk Bookstore is required by state laws to have your sales tax exempt certificate to process your order without tax. If we do not have your certificate on file, when your order is placed, you will be charged tax.

Each state has its own set of exemption certificates as well as rules and regulations covering their use. In order for an organization to be exempt, the organization must apply for, and be granted, exempt sales and use tax status in the state(s) in which they conduct business. To learn more about your state's requirements, simply search online for "Sales Tax Exemption in.... (the state where you are planning to ship books)", or click here for a list of forms and links available.
