Tax Exemption Policy
The purpose of this Tax-Exempt policy is to describe the steps and prerequisites for obtaining tax exemptions on Hardware Storm purchases.
State Tax Exemption: Most states exclude purchases from paying sales taxes; California is an exception. Purchases in California may be subject to a sales tax at the state level of up to 7.75%; the exact rate may range across the state's counties.
Nonprofit Organizations: Tax-exempt purchases may be available for charitable organizations, religious organizations, educational institutions, or other nonprofits.
Governmental Organizations: When purchasing goods and services from Hardware Storm, federal and state governmental organizations may be eligible for tax exemptions.
Resellers: Companies that resell goods may also qualify for tax exemption status if they have all the required paperwork in order.
