At Prime Musical Instruments, we comply with all applicable state and local tax laws. This policy explains how sales tax is applied to your orders.
1. When Sales Tax is Charged
Sales tax is applied to orders shipped to addresses in states where we have a physical presence or tax nexus (as required by law). Tax rates are determined by:
State, county, and local tax laws at your shipping address.
Product taxability (some items may be exempt in certain states).
2. How Sales Tax is Calculated
The tax rate is based on your shipping address at checkout.
Rates may vary due to changing tax laws.
Tax is displayed before you complete your purchase.
3. Tax-Exempt Purchases
Qualified tax-exempt organizations (e.g., schools, churches, nonprofits) can request tax-free purchases by:
Providing a valid tax-exempt certificate (PDF or image).
Emailing it to tax@primemusicalinstruments.com before checkout.
Waiting for approval (we’ll apply the exemption to your account).
Note: Tax exemptions apply only to eligible items under state law.
4. International & Out-of-State Orders
U.S. orders: Tax is charged based on the shipping address.
International orders: No sales tax is applied (customs/duties may apply at delivery).
5. Changes in Tax Rates
Tax rates are updated regularly to comply with state and local laws. The rate at checkout is final, even if laws change afterward.
6. Tax Invoices
Your invoice (emailed after purchase) includes:
Itemized product costs.
Applied sales tax amount.
Breakdown by state/local jurisdiction (if applicable).
