I have provided you a copy of my sales tax permit. Why are you still charging me tax?

Your tax registration does not indicate that your company will be reselling items you procure from INSPIRE in your business. If your intent is to assert that you are reselling INSPIRE’s products and/or services to your customers, we need to obtain a resale certificate from you.

Most resale certificates will include the nature of your business, what you are purchasing from INSPIRE, and a certification that you will resell those products and/or services to your customers. Simply using INSPIRE’s services for your business does not constitute a tax-exempt resale. Instead, you should be invoicing INSPIRE’s specific items to your customers, and presumably charging them sales tax on INSPIRE’s products and/or services.
