US sales tax

States where you may see sales tax on your invoice

Stape includes sales tax on invoices in the following US states:

• Illinois (IL) ** - Chicago only
• Georgia (GA) *
• Kentucky
• Ohio
• Utah
• Maryland
• New York
• Minnesota*
• Michigan*
• Georgia*
• New Jersey*
• Virginia*
• Nevada*
• California*

* In these states, Stape is registered for sales tax but the products you buy from us aren't taxable. You won't see sales tax on your invoice, even though the state is on the list.

** In Illinois, sales tax applies only to customers based in Chicago. Customers elsewhere in Illinois won't see sales tax on their invoices.

If your state isn't listed at all, Stape doesn't collect sales tax from you. 

Tax exemption

If your company qualifies for sales tax exemption in your state, you can ask Stape to remove the tax from your invoices.

To request an exemption:

1. Have your current, signed tax exemption certificate ready. The certificate has to match the state where you're being charged.
2. Contact Stape support and attach the certificate.
3. Wait for support to confirm. Once they apply the exemption, future invoices won't include sales tax.

If your exemption certificate expires or is replaced, send the new version to support so the exemption stays in place.
