Taxes
Sales tax is a transaction tax imposed by US states and thousands of local jurisdictions on the sale of a product or service from a seller to a consumer. Certain types of sales transactions are exempt from sales tax because the item itself is nontaxable or the buyer is exempt.
Tax Exempt or Reseller
If the purchase is to be used or consumed in carrying out the operations of an exempt entity or purchased for resale, validation of tax exemption is required prior to placing an order. Use of an exemption certificate requires acknowledgement of the following statement:
This purchase is a requirement of my employer, an exempt organization. Not only will this purchase be used or consumed in carrying out the operations of the organization, but it will be used in the way that state has deemed exempt from tax. I acknowledge sales to employees of the organization for their own use is subject to tax.
Please contact the Tax Department to send acknowledgement and exemption certificate for validation.
Australia GST
Australia’s goods and services tax (GST) went into effect on 1 July 2018. It applies to all overseas business with a turnover of A$75,000 in Australia and will affect goods valued at A$1,000 or less. The Australian Tax Office (ATO) is very specific about items exempt from this GST. Please contact the Australian Tax Office for more information.
State Sales Tax Compliance
The application of sales tax is based on the local tax jurisdiction’s regulations and local jurisdiction tax rates. Due to the increase in digital products offered, states have enacted legislation to capture tax dollars on revenue generated through online sales of non-tangible products (digital products). As each state enacts new tax regulations, ISACA remains current applying the most recent local tax jurisdiction regulations and local tax rates. While products purchased in the past may have not been assessed sales tax, those same products may now be subject to sales tax.
