To waive state / local sales tax on your account a completed, current Resale*, Exemption or Direct Pay Certificate must be on file. Forms listed are the most commonly used. Please review the Instructions for each form to avoid any delay in processing your order.
*Resale Purchasers – Are you Drop-Shipping?
Laerdal will exempt only those states for which we have a valid Resale Certificate on file. Additional documentation may be required for a waiver of sales tax on drop-shipments. Please review applicable state law(s) before placing a drop-shipment order (certificate acceptance, nexus statement...). Certain states will not recognize your out-of-state form. Contact salestax@laerdal.com should you need assistance.
