Tax exemption
A tax exemption lets an eligible buyer purchase without sales tax or VAT being charged. Eligibility depends on the buyer, what they buy and the jurisdiction, and sellers usually keep proof such as a certificate or tax ID. Rules differ by country and state, so confirm them with a tax adviser.
Example
A registered reseller gives a valid tax ID at checkout, and the order is created without tax.
