# Tax Exempt Documentation and Requirements for GSA Purchases

Many individuals or businesses may qualify to make tax exempt purchases.

## Federal Government

Tax doesn't generally apply to purchases made by the United States government. In order to document that a sale has been made to an agent of the U.S. government, Amazon requires a copy of one of the following to enroll in Amazon's Tax Exemption Program (ATEP):

- Federal tax ID certificate
- Certificate of exempt status or affidavit
- Government voucher

For additional information on how to enroll in ATEP, please visit Amazon Tax Exemption Program .

## Government Services Administration (GSA) Purchases

Federal exemption will automatically apply in most states for items sold by Amazon.com and its affiliates when purchased by a GSA Centrally Billed Account (CBA) credit card. Exemption will not apply to items sold by other marketplace sellers. In order for the exemption to apply, submit a completed GSA statement.

GSA purchases will not automatically be exempted without additional documentation into ATEP for the following states:

- Florida
- Georgia
- Illinois
- Iowa
- Michigan
- Minnesota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- West Virginia
- Vermont
- Wisconsin

## Tax Exemption for Other Purchasers

All other purchasers using a tax exemption need to provide us with a copy of a state resale certificate, tax exemption certificate, or other acceptable proof of tax exemption for the state or US territory where the items will be shipped.

Note: your exemption may not apply to sales sold by third party sellers.
