How do I make my PangoBooks purchases tax-exempt?

Can I buy tax-free? How do I upload a tax exemption or resale certificate? Learn how schools, libraries, nonprofits, resellers, and other tax-exempt buyers can stop paying sales tax on PangoBooks.

Written by Renee

If you don't have to pay sales tax on your purchases, you can upload your tax exemption certificate to your PangoBooks account. Once it's approved, we won't charge sales tax on your orders.

Who this is for

  • Organizations that are exempt from sales tax, such as schools, libraries, nonprofits, and government agencies

  • Resellers buying books to resell, with a valid resale certificate

If you're not sure whether you qualify, check with your finance team or a tax professional.

How to request tax-exempt status

Tax-exempt status can only be requested on the PangoBooks website. This option isn't available in the app.

  1. Log in to your account on the PangoBooks website.

  2. Go to the Tax tab of your profile, or go straight to pangobooks.com/account/profile?tab=tax.

  3. Upload a clear copy of your tax exemption or resale certificate.

  4. Submit your request.

What happens next

Our team reviews every certificate, which can take up to a week. Need it sooner? Send us a message through the chat icon or email support@pangobooks.com and we'll speed things up.

Once your certificate is approved, sales tax won't be added to your orders at checkout.

Good to know

  • Your certificate has to be valid for the state your order ships to.

  • Tax-exempt status applies to orders placed after approval. We can't refund sales tax on orders placed before then.

  • If your certificate expires, upload your new one so your exemption stays active.
