To get tax-exempt status on TeachersPayTeachers (TPT), particularly for orders placed via Purchase Order, you'll need to provide proof of your tax-exempt standing directly to TPT.
Understanding Tax-Exempt Status on TPT
If you represent an organization that is exempt from sales tax, such as a school or non-profit educational institution, you may qualify for tax-free purchases on TPT for orders made through a Purchase Order. This means that applicable sales tax will not be charged on your qualifying transactions.
How to Apply for Tax-Exempt Status
The process for applying for tax-exempt status for your TPT orders is straightforward and involves submitting specific documentation.
Required Documentation
To verify your tax-exempt status, you must provide official proof from your state. This documentation helps TPT confirm your eligibility for tax-free transactions.
- Proof of Tax-Exempt Status: This typically includes:
- A state-issued tax-exempt letter.
- A state-issued tax-exempt certificate.
- Any other official document from your state that certifies your organization's tax exemption.
| Document Type | Description |
|---|---|
| State-Issued Tax-Exempt Letter | An official letter from your state's tax authority confirming your tax-exempt status. |
| State-Issued Certificate | A certificate issued by your state recognizing your tax exemption. |
Submission Method
Once you have the necessary documentation, you will need to send it to the TPT team.
- Email: The required proof of tax-exempt status should be emailed to the dedicated exemptions department.
