Sales Tax / Use Tax

Print Version

State law requires Purple Wave collect sales tax on all applicable transactions. Sales tax rates are based on the item's location and are applied to the total purchase price (hammer price plus the Buyer's Premium). Tax will be collected unless the buyer provides proof of a tax exemption, which must be submitted before tax amounts will be removed from the invoice. Exemption forms are auction and state specific and may need to be completed for every event. Purple Wave cannot offer advice, opinions or guarantees about whether you are in fact exempt. Buyers may be subject to use tax in their state of residence. Consult your tax advisors if you have sales tax exemption or use tax questions. Purple Wave, Inc. cannot be held responsible for states' registration requirements regarding exemptions. Please note, guidelines and regulations regarding tax exemptions may vary between states. If you are eligible for an exemption, please complete the appropriate exemption certificate and email it to exemptions@purplewave.com or fax to 866.604.2264.
