Tax-Exempt Purchases

Podiums Direct collects sales tax on orders shipping to Colorado, unless the purchasing organization is tax-exempt. Orders shipping anywhere else are not charged sales tax at checkout, so tax-exempt organizations outside Colorado pay the same listed price as everyone else and there is nothing to deduct or refund.

Wherever you are, if your organization is tax-exempt we ask for a copy of your exemption certificate. State tax authorities can review a seller's records, and a certificate on file is what documents that your purchase was made by an exempt organization.

Who this applies to

Churches, schools, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations are typically exempt. If you're not sure, your business administrator or bookkeeper will know.

What to send

Email your state-issued sales tax exemption certificate to sales@podiumsdirect.com with your order number. Note that an IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter is usually not a sales tax exemption on its own—most states issue their own certificate or form.

Shipping to Colorado? Send your certificate when you place your order so sales tax isn't applied.

We keep your certificate on file for future orders. If it expires or is renewed, just send us the updated copy.
