Tax FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my order being charged sales tax?
If you find that sales tax is being charged on your orders, it is likely one of two reasons:
1. You do not have a resale exemption certificate for the state in which your business resides on file with us.
2. You are drop shipping an order to a different state than your business, and you do not have a resale exemption certificate for that state on file with us.
Signed resale certificates are required for each state in which you seek tax exemption (U.S. only). To be valid, the form must be filled out completely, including business name, date and signature.
If you believe your account is being charged sales tax incorrectly, please reach out to us at [email protected] or 678-533-1500.
Which form do I submit?
You can often find the resale exemption form on your state’s Department of Revenue website. Please note this form is different from your Business Tax ID certificate. You can find the appropriate form per state below:

What is the Currey policy on direct payment permits?
Currey only accepts permits for the State of Washington and Florida. No other permits or licenses are accepted.
Vis-a-vis sales tax, what are the drop shipment guidelines?
Drop shipments into Hawaii, Maryland and Washington, D.C. are always taxable unless registered there.
Drop shipments into California, Massachusetts, Mississippi and Tennessee require certificates from both the home state and ship-to state ln order to claim an exemption as "pass through states". The recipient of the shipment needs to also prove that they are exempt.
All other states will accept the ship-to state's certificate with the seller's state ID number. We encourage the customer to write the words "drop ship" or "home state rule" beside their tax ID number on the forms.
