Understanding Sales Tax on Your Purchase
All transactions made through 24 PREFAB, LLC are subject to state-specific sales tax based on the shipping destination and the nature of the product purchased.
We strictly adhere to U.S. sales tax laws and collect tax where applicable in accordance with state regulations.
When Sales Tax Applies
Sales tax will be calculated during checkout and will depend on:
- The delivery state and local jurisdiction
- Whether the unit is a fully finished residential structure, raw shipping container, or commercial modular unit
- The classification of your purchase (personal use, business, agricultural, institutional, etc.)
You will see any applicable tax added transparently before payment is submitted.
Tax-Exempt Buyers
Certain customers may qualify for sales tax exemption under federal and state laws.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Government agencies
- Resellers with valid resale certificates
- Non-profit and religious organizations
- Educational institutions
- Agricultural or manufacturing entities (where applicable)
- Contractors operating under tax-exempt development permits
How to Claim Tax Exemption
If you qualify for tax exemption, you must:
- Provide a valid and verifiable exemption certificate for the destination state
- Submit the certificate before or during the quoting or checkout process
- Await confirmation from our billing team before payment processing
Once approved, your order will be marked as exempt, and sales tax will be removed from your invoice.
Important Notes
- Exemption verification is mandatory. We cannot remove tax without valid documentation.
- Certificates must match the purchasing entity name and destination state.
- Sales tax cannot be refunded after payment unless the exemption is properly filed beforehand.
