Purchasing
Tax Exempt Accounts
If your school, district, or organization is exempt from sales tax, send us your certificate once. We put it on your account and every qualifying order after that is processed without sales tax.
How it works
Use the email address that will place the orders. The exemption is attached to that account.
Email your exemption or resale certificate to howdy@argumentdriveninquiry.com with the account email in the message.
We review and flag the account, then email you when it is active. Usually 1 to 2 business days.
What to send
Order first, exempt later does not work
Set the exemption up before you check out. Once an order is placed with tax charged, we cannot always refund it, and your purchasing office will have a mismatch between the PO and the invoice.
Good to know
Keeping it current
Certificates expire. You are responsible for sending a new one before the date on the certificate, or tax goes back on.
Buying on a PO instead
Tax exemption and purchase orders are separate things. You can use both, and most districts do.
Quotes for your requisition
A quote issued after your exemption is active shows the correct tax-free total for your purchasing office.
Resellers
If you are claiming resale rather than an institutional exemption, start on the Wholesale and Resellers page instead.
