Sales Tax and Tax Exempt Organiztions
Wiley Office Furniture is located in Springfield, IL and charges sales tax on furniture purchases at the applicable City of Springfield sales tax rate. The sales tax rate changes periodically based on changes in state or local laws. The sales tax at the time of invoicing is the sales tax that will be used on the order.
Delivery, service, design and installation labor charges are not subject to Illinois sales tax when listed as separate line items on proposals and invoices. This applies to all sales for Illinois residents. Out of state purchasers will be responsible for remitting the use tax to their respective states.
Sales tax exempt organizations will need to submit their Illinois Department of Revenue sales tax exempt number and form with their order to have sales tax waived. Sales tax will be assessed on all orders unless the appropriate tax-exempt number and paperwork is provided. Unpaid sales tax amounts on orders are considered not full payment of the order and the unpaid amount will be collected via legal action and/or collections, with the purchaser responsible for all legal and collections fees.
The Illinois Department of Revenue issues specific sales tax exemptions. A not-for-profit entity is not automatically exempt from sales tax by virtue of their not-for-profit status. The not-for-profit entity needs to have applied for and received a sales tax exemption for waiving of sales tax on orders.
