Information for Tax Exempt Groups
If you are a tax exempt group, then you will not be charged sales tax on your fundraiser order. Please note that you MUST provide a Tax Exempt Certificate from your state stating "exempt from sales tax" somewhere on the form or you will be charged tax on your order. The First Lady Boutique cannot accept a "Resale" sales tax certificate from retail stores.
Your tax exempt certificate or form will need to be turned in when placing your order. So, it is recommended that you know what you need to do to provide this information at least one week prior to the closing date of your fundraiser.
Also, please note that the "ship to" address must be in the same state that the tax exempt form is issued. Be sure to check your tax exempt certificate for an expiration date and if one is listed, be sure that your order is turned in at least two days prior to that date.
If you are unsure of your organization's tax exempt status or what you need to do to get your certificate, contact your local tax collector's office for more information.
