# Sales Tax Exemptions

If you’re a buyer who holds a valid resale certificate, you may qualify for Palmstreet’s **Buyer Exemption Program**. This program lets eligible purchasers buy goods **tax-free** when those goods are intended for resale, in line with state resale laws.

#### How to Enroll

You can now apply for your exemption directly in the Palmstreet app. Before you get started, make sure you have a photo of your **valid government-issued ID** and a **PDF copy of your valid, state-compliant resale certificate.** Click into your profile settings and locate the Sales Tax Exemption option shown below. Follow the instructions to upload your ID and resale certificate.

You can also email us your information by following these steps:

1. Email a **PDF copy of your valid, state-compliant resale certificate** to <resale@palmstreet.app>.
2. Make sure your certificate meets your state’s specific requirements.
3. Keep your resale certificate up to date to maintain your exemption status.

#### Stay Compliant

Every state has different rules for resale certificates. We’ve included a state-by-state guide in this document to help you confirm what’s needed where you operate. Review it carefully to make sure your certificate stays valid and your exemption remains in good standing.<br>

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.palmstreet.app/seller/wallet-and-payment-management/sales-tax-exemptions.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
