What paperwork do I need to provide to prove that my order is tax-exempt?

For Government Agencies, Religious Affiliations, Educational Institutions, and Nonprofit Organizations, you need to provide a Sales Tax Exemption Certificate.  A sales tax exemption certificate is a document that is issued by the state.  The form allows an organization or agency to purchase normally taxable goods or services without paying sales tax.

For private businesses buying items for resale, you need to provide a Resale Certificate.  A resale certificate is a document that is issued by the state.  The document allows a business to make tax-exempt purchases based on the assumption that the items will be resold and the sales tax will be paid by the end-user.
