Become Tax Exempt
If your business qualifies for a sales tax exemption, please provide us with a completed and valid sales tax exemption or resale certificate for the state(s) where your orders are shipped.
Common reasons for exemption include:
- Resale — products are being purchased for resale to your customers.
- Manufacturing or industrial processing — when permitted by state law.
- Government or nonprofit exemption — when the organization and purchase qualify under applicable state rules.
An EIN or Federal Tax ID alone does not qualify a business for sales tax exemption.
To request tax-exempt status:
- Complete the appropriate resale or sales tax exemption certificate for your state.
- Include your business name, address, tax/resale registration information, reason for exemption, and signature as required.
- Submit the completed certificate to Rochford Supply.
- Rochford Supply will review the documentation and update your account if the exemption is valid.
Sales tax will continue to be charged until appropriate exemption documentation has been received and approved.
