The Fine Print About Sales Tax

All purchases are subject to state and local sales tax unless:

  • You possess a Massachusetts sales tax exemption or resale number and register that number with us.
  • You are an out-of-state vendor who meets all the requirements of Massachusetts Department of Revenue GLC 64H 1(5) and Directive 89-10 and register that information with us.

Please call 508-385-3116 to submit your sales tax exemption or resale number with us. We appreciate this being done before you register to bid.

If you are shipping outside of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, you may be exempt from sales tax. Please contact us to find out our tax status with your state.
