Sales tax is charged only for California customers who have not provided a California Resale Certificate.
California customers, you may exempt your MilSpecCoating.com purchases from CA sales tax by providing a completed California Resale Certificate to us. Review the California State Board of Equalization regulations to confirm your purchases qualify.
3 steps to CA sales tax exemption
- Create a MilSpecCoating.com account, if you haven't already.
- Send a completed California Resale Certificate form to MilSpecCoating.com. (see "3 methods" below).
- MilSpecCoating.com will notify you that your account is now exempt.
From that point forward, you will not be charged CA sales tax as long as you order while signed in to your MilSpecCoating.com account (tied to your email address).
Note: We cannot retroactively credit you for sales tax applied to orders before your account was verified.
