# Amazon Tax Exemption Program

The Amazon Tax Exemption Program (ATEP) allows Amazon Business customers to apply your tax exemption status to eligible purchases from Amazon.com and affiliates or other participating sellers.

About ATEP

Tax-exempt status is typically available for qualifying Businesses, Governments, Non-Profit Entities and Educational Institutions.

All users who make tax exempt purchases with a business account on behalf of the business are subject to the Amazon Tax Exemption Program (ATEP) Terms and Conditions.

Enroll in ATEP

In order to apply your tax-exempt status to eligible purchases, the business account must be enrolled in ATEP. If an administrator's current Amazon.com account is already enrolled in ATEP, they will have an option to migrate these tax exemption settings from the Business Settings page. If the account wasn't enrolled or you want to delay enrolling, it can be done at a later time by completing the steps below.

The Amazon Tax Exemption Wizard will guide you through the process of enrolling in our program. Your tax-exempt status will usually be activated within 15 minutes of completing enrollment, unless you are required to upload your certificate in which approval can take up to 24 hours. You can also use this tool to edit or update your status. Learn more about enrollment and restrictions.
