Authorized contact

Wholesale and Sales-Tax Notice

Approval for a Bud To Cup wholesale account does not automatically establish sales-tax exemption. Product taxability is determined under applicable state and local law. Customers purchasing otherwise taxable products for resale must provide valid, complete, and properly executed exemption documentation before tax-exempt treatment is approved. Bud To Cup may verify, reject, suspend, or request updated documentation. Customers must notify Bud To Cup promptly of changes to their legal name, ownership, addresses, registration, purchasing purpose, or exemption status.

Purchasing profile

Tax information

Wholesale pricing and sales-tax exemption are separate. Tax is calculated from the products ordered, the delivery location, and approved exemption documentation. Qualifying unheated packaged tea is generally exempt in New York, so a resale certificate is usually not required for tea alone.

Please do not attach certificates here. If documentation is required, we will request it securely after reviewing your application.
