Tax Exempt purchases

Tax exempt orders involve our payment processor Digital River (also known as ShareIt and MyCommerce). There are 2 key methods:

1. Tax exempt orders paid via credit card can only be processed with a post-purchase tax refund. After purchase, please send the completed order number and a copy of the exemption certificate to MyCommerce Client Support to refund the tax on the order. MyCommerce will then supply an updated invoice with the tax removed.
2. If the order must be placed with the tax waived from the initial transaction, this must be via payment by Check in USD (or Wire if the order is over $400). If this option is required, please send an email to MyCommerce Client Support with the full order detail, including name, company name, registration name, billing address, delivery address(if different), billing email address and delivery address(if different). MyCommerce will also require the tax exemption certificate to waive the tax on the order. Once submitted, the payment instructions will be delivered to your billing email address. You may wish to use our online quote service (part of the checkout flow) to provide MyCommerce with a link to what you wish to purchase.
