Tax & Resale Information
Last updated: June 1, 2024
As a wholesale-only platform, Burgundy Blue LLC is required by U.S. law to collect sales tax on orders unless a valid Resale Certificate is provided. This page outlines how our B2B partners can manage their tax-exempt status.
1. Why We Require Resale Certificates
In the United States, wholesale transactions are exempt from sales tax only when the buyer intends to resell the products and provides a valid state-issued exemption certificate. Without this documentation, we are legally obligated to charge sales tax based on the delivery destination.
How to Apply for Tax Exemption
To avoid being charged sales tax on your wholesale orders, please follow these steps:
- Submit During Signup: Upload a digital copy of your Resale Certificate through our partner application portal.
- Email Submission: If you are an existing partner, email your certificate to info@burgundy-blue.com with your Company Name and Order Number in the subject line.
2. Accepted Documentation
We accept the following forms of documentation depending on your state of operation:
- State-specific Sales & Use Tax Resale Certificates.
- Multi-State Tax Commission (MTC) Uniform Sales & Use Tax Certificates.
- Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) Exemption Certificates.
3. Verification Process
Once submitted, our compliance team will verify your certificate within 1-2 business days. Once approved, your account will be marked as "Tax Exempt," and sales tax will no longer be applied to your eligible wholesale orders.
4. Expiration & Renewal
Most states require resale certificates to be renewed periodically. It is the buyer's responsibility to provide Burgundy Blue LLC with updated documentation before the current certificate expires to maintain continuous tax-exempt status.
