Why was tax added to my Sales Order and/or Invoice? (Q&A)

Question: Why was tax added to my Sales Order and/or Invoice? 

Answer: IDProductsource has teamed up with Avalara to help manage resale certificates and calculate sales tax. IDProductsource is obligated to collect sales tax in certain states due to meeting specific economic thresholds set by the state, as mandated by their economic nexus laws. Even without a physical presence, these laws require businesses to collect and remit sales tax upon surpassing certain economic criteria within the state.

While we understand this may come as unexpected, we want to ensure compliance with state regulations governing remote sellers like us. If you possess a valid resale certificate for the state in question, kindly provide us with the necessary details. This certificate could exempt you from certain sales tax charges as permitted by the state regulations.
