To obtain tax exemption status for purchases, gather a valid tax exemption certificate from your local tax authority and save it as a PDF. Submit the certificate to Unity’s Customer Experience team for review. Wait for confirmation that your tax-exempt status has been applied before making any purchases, as taxes on prior orders cannot be refunded. Processing times vary, so submit your documentation early. Consult your local tax authority for eligibility requirements.
Symptoms:
- I'm exempt from paying tax. How do I apply for tax exemption?
- You need approval for tax exemption status.
- You reside in a location where there is no sales tax, or your organization qualifies for tax exemption.
Cause:
The system requires a valid tax exemption certificate to verify your tax-exempt status. Without this certificate, tax exemption cannot be automatically applied to purchases.

To obtain tax exemption status:
-
Gather required documentation
- Acquire a tax exemption certificate from the appropriate governing agency or tax authority.
- Ensure the certificate is saved as a PDF file for submission.

Plan Your Purchases
