What is US sales tax?

A sales tax is a levy paid to a governing body on the sale of specific goods and services. Typically, this tax is imposed on the final consumer, necessitating online sellers to collect sales tax on finished product sales. Platforms like Etsy and Amazon automatically handle sales tax collection and remittance. Likewise, storefronts such as Shopify offer programs to remit sales tax to individual states. Transactions between your business and Artelo are classified as business-to-business transactions. By maintaining an up-to-date resale certificate, your sales tax obligations on orders between your business and Artelo are exempted. Otherwise, Florida state sales tax (7%) will applied to all your transactions with Artelo.

How can you receive a sales tax exemption?

To qualify for a sales tax exemption in Florida, Artelo can utilize an Out-of-State Purchase Exemption Certificate. This certificate is provided by your state and exempts Artelo from sales tax remittance, relieving your business from the obligation to pay sales tax on transactions with Artelo. Companies working with Artelo are recommended to procure a resale certificate from their respective states. To upload your sales tax exemption, access your Artelo account, go to Settings, then navigate to Tax Details, and upload your state's exemption certificate. After approval of your resale certificate, no sales tax will be charged.
