Tax Exemptions
Sales Tax Exemption
Purchases are subject to applicable sales tax unless the purchaser qualifies for an exemption under the laws of the state where the order is being shipped.
Organizations requesting sales-tax-exempt status must provide Ecclesiastical Sewing with a completed copy of their state’s sales tax exemption form or a valid tax exemption certificate accepted by that state. A federal tax-exempt determination letter or nonprofit designation alone may not be sufficient to establish exemption from state sales tax.
Tax exemption documentation should only be submitted on behalf of a qualifying charitable, religious, educational, governmental, or resale organization. The purchaser is responsible for confirming that the organization and the purchase qualify for exemption under the applicable state’s requirements.
The exemption certificate should be:
- Completed in full
- Signed and dated by an authorized representative of the purchasing organization
- Issued to or completed for Ecclesiastical Sewing as the seller
- Valid for the state where the order will be shipped
- Applicable to the merchandise being purchased
The purchase must be placed and paid for directly by the exempt organization. Purchases made personally by an employee or individual and later reimbursed by the organization may not qualify for exemption.
Please forward a copy of your completed state exemption form or valid tax exemption certificate to:
customersupport@ecclesiasticalsewing.com
Please include the organization’s name and the associated order number, if available.
Once the documentation has been received and reviewed, the organization’s customer account will be updated when the exemption is determined to be valid. When permitted by applicable state law, eligible sales tax already collected on the associated order may be credited to the original form of payment.
Minnesota Organizations
Minnesota purchasers must provide a completed Form ST3, Certificate of Exemption, or other exemption documentation accepted by the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
For additional information or to obtain the appropriate form, please visit your state’s Department of Revenue or taxation website.
