Tax Exempt Forms

Please read the following instructions and information completely before submitting your tax exemption certificate.

Bates Corporation is required to collect sales and/or use taxes on your purchases unless provided with current, valid exemption certificates for the states where your company's purchases are shipped.

Tax certificates must be presented BEFORE the transaction is completed to be tax-exempt. We are not able to issue a refund for tax after the transaction has been completed, per statute.

We cannot advise or instruct you on how to complete tax forms. If you have questions about any sections of the form, please contact your tax professional.

We have included a short tutorial video on how to use this service. Please note: this is for demonstration purposes only; our selections are to show you the process for entry. Make tax-exemption choices based on your tax situation, not the tutorial's selections.
