Tax Exempt

This Tax-Exempt policy aims to outline the procedure and requirements needed to get tax exemptions on purchases with Hard Disk Direct.

State Tax Exemption: Tax exemptions for purchases are applicable in most states, but California is an exception. In California, a state-level sales tax of up to 9.5% may apply to purchases, with the specific rate potentially varying within different counties of the state.

Nonprofit Organizations: Charitable organization, religious group, educational institution, or another form of nonprofit could be eligible for tax-exempt purchases.

Government Entities: Federal and state governmental organizations may qualify for tax exemptions when acquiring goods and services through Hard Disk Direct.

Resellers: Businesses engaged in the resale of products may also be eligible for tax-exempt status, provided that all necessary documentation is submitted.

Returning Customers:

• Sustaining Tax-Exempt Status: If you're a returning customer who has already obtained tax-exempt status, the process is much simpler.

For Multi-Jurisdictional Exemptions:

• Multi-State Submissions: If your organization operates in multiple states, please provide appropriate documentation for each applicable state.
• Order Specifics: During the checkout process, specify the state for which you need the tax exemption.
• Ongoing Regulation Compliance: We will keep your documents on file and apply tax exemptions as appropriate for future orders, ensuring compliance across different jurisdictions.
