Sales Tax:
8% (Albany, NY)

  1. Resellers: A sales tax exemption is allowed for companies purchasing for the purpose of resale that are REGISTERED with the State of NY and fill out Form ST120 (http://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/current_forms/st/st120_fill_in.pdf). OUT OF STATE BUYERS fill out Part B or Part 2 and attach with your out of state information to be exempt http://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/current_forms/st/st120_fill_in.pdf
  2. Use in Manufacturing: Exemptions will be allowed for qualified manufacturers with the completion of the New York Form ST121. Buyer must have a NY Certificate of Authority # to be exempt for Manufacturing. (If you don’t have that you can always pay the tax & supply us with a bill of lading showing proof goods left NY) http://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/current_forms/st/st121_fill_in.pdf
  3. Shipment out of State: Sales tax must be paid and will be reimbursed upon timely receipt of required documentation. PLEASE Let us know AHEAD of time to AVOID DELAYS in receiving a refund.
  4. Exempt Organization (like a University) an exempt organization can send a form ST 119.2 – MUST BE REGISTERED WITH STATE OF NY.
  5. If Buyer believes they are exempt they can request a refund from State of NY Form AU11 if they are questioning it.
  6. Motor Vehicles – pay sales taxes & register your vehicle at your DMV not thru us (the private seller completes the seller's section of the form Statement of Transaction - Sale or Gift of Motor Vehicle (DTF-802)). An in-transit permit allows you to get your newly purchased, unregistered vehicle from point A to point B legally?as long as point A begins somewhere in New York State. You can't bring a vehicle into NY with an in-transit permit (https://dmv.ny.gov/registration/transit-vehicle-permit-temporary-registration), but you can drive one out of NY. These permits are non-renewable and aren't to be confused with temporary registrations. The NY DMV doesn't offer temporary registrations.

We need this for every sale fax to 203-488-4577.
