If you qualify for tax-exempt status, CompTIA makes it easy to apply through your account. By following a few simple steps, you can access the Tax Exemption Wizard, which will guide you through the process of determining your eligibility and submitting the required paperwork. Most applications are reviewed within two business days.
Please note:
- The tax exemption option is available exclusively to B2B customers.
- You will only receive an email notification if your application is rejected. Approval notifications are not sent.
- If you do not see the tax exemption option and believe you are eligible, please contact your account representative for assistance.
Important Note:
Once your tax-exempt status is approved, qualifying orders will automatically be processed without sales tax at checkout. There will not be a specific notification indicating your tax-exempt status during the checkout process; sales tax will simply not be included in your total for eligible purchases.
