Sales Tax
We add sales tax for orders shipped to the following states: Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin.

If you are tax exempt and you are being charged taxes at checkout, please add a note to your order with your tax exempt number or organization name. We will remove the tax from your order and process and ship it without delay. In order to provide proper documentation to your state tax department we require that you send a copy of your State Tax Exempt Certificate to us at internetorders@unitednow.com or fax it to (800) 858-3247 at your earliest convenience.

If you are tax exempt we strongly urge you to save your login information rather than checking out as a guest. Once we have your Tax Exempt Certificate we will update your account so you will not be charged sales tax on future orders.

Please note that your Federal Tax ID does NOT identify your State Sales & Use Tax Exemption. For legal exemption, please provide your State's Tax Exemption using your State's appropriate exemption form.
