Does my order qualify for a sales tax exemption?

This article discusses how Ace Exhibits collects (or does not collect) sales tax in specific US States. It also explains how we qualify you for sales tax exemption.

Ace Exhibits is headquartered in Texas, and therefore we fall under applicable Texas sales tax laws. We also have sufficient physical and/or economic presence, known as "nexus", in the following states: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.  In all of these states we are obligated to collect sales tax (and remit sales tax to these states.)

Sales Tax Computation

Sales tax is calculated based upon the destination or shipping address for your order. Generally speaking, each Zip Code in the US has its own sales tax rate.

Sales Tax Exemptions

The following entities can be exempt from sales tax – but only after meeting the appropriate criteria, AND being subject to the laws of the state that the order is shipping to:

• Government agencies
• Companies reselling purchased goods that are in our industry or complimentary one, such as a marketing agency
• Non-profit organizations

Sales Tax Exemption Requests

To be exempt from sales tax, you must submit the required sales tax exemption form and documents for your entity type AND from the state the order is shipping to. Please submit the required documents to your sales representative. Processing of sales tax exemption requests will be processed in approximately 1-10 business days. 

All sales tax exemption requests should be made and approved prior to orders being placed – not after an order has been placed.  All sales tax exemptions that are approved after an order has been placed will not be eligible for a refund of previously paid sales tax.  The following are a partial list of links to state forms for sales tax exemptions.
