Sales Tax Exemption

Sales Tax and Tax-Exempt Status

If your school or organization is tax-exempt, please email a copy of your official tax-exempt form to your account executive or customer success specialist. This is the only way to have sales tax waived.

📌 Important: Sales tax will be collected and remitted until valid documentation is submitted. Sales tax collected before submitting a valid form is non-refundable, so we recommend submitting your tax-exempt form before placing any orders.

Tax-exempt status must be applied to each new project, so please notify your specialist each time you begin a new one.

Additional Notes

  • No sales tax is collected in Wisconsin or Arizona.

  • Even if your organization is tax-exempt, some states consider yearbook sales a taxable activity if the books are sold for profit. Regulations vary, so we recommend confirming with your school’s accounting or business office.

  • It is your responsibility to ensure that a valid, completed form is submitted. We are not responsible for any tax liability or exemptions after a form is received.
