Sales Tax

Sales tax is collected based on the applicable state and local sales tax regulations and rates.

The tax rate applied to your order will be the combined state and local rates of the address where your order is delivered to.

Please note, the tax rates applied to your order may also be different for a variety of reasons such as the type of item purchased or the delivery address of your order. You can estimate your sales tax by entering your zip code in your shopping cart.

Lab Equipment Depot provides an Estimated Tax rate at checkout when confirming your order. The estimated tax amount may be updated to the actual amount once your order is completed.

Tax-Exempt Customers or Resellers

If you are tax-exempt or a reseller please upload your certificate at checkout. Alternatively, you may send your valid certificate to email info@LabEquipmentDepot.com or fax it to (718) 504-6285. Please include your name and sales order number and your contact information. The name of an organization or an individual on the order must exactly match the tax-exempt or resale certificate.

Once you provide your resale or tax-exempt certificate, it will be kept on file and used against your future orders until the certificate is expired, if applicable state laws allow this use of the certificate provided. If we keep your resale or tax-exempt certificate on file, no sales tax will be added during checkout, providing that the Ship-To state is covered by the certificate. Make sure you are logged in to your account before purchasing.

Please let us know should your tax-exempt status change.

Special Cases

Although Lab Equipment Depot collects sales tax on orders shipped to the states mentioned above only in some cases when we drop ship the order directly from the manufacturer's warehouse, and if the manufacturer is obligated to collect sales tax in your state, then we may ask for a resale certificate/tax exemption form if available.

In case Lab Equipment Depot collects no tax on your order you are responsible to contact your local tax administration regarding taxes you may owe directly to your state or jurisdiction.

Lab Equipment Depot withholds sales tax as required by law; these laws are subject to change. Lab Equipment Depot reserves the right to change this policy as needed.
