Wholesale & Sales Tax Exempt

📌 Sales Tax Information for Illinois Customers

Since our business is based in Illinois, we are required to charge sales tax on all orders shipped to an Illinois address — unless you provide a valid Illinois resale number.

👉 If you don’t have a resale number, sales tax will automatically be added to your order. Orders shipped outside of Illinois are not subject to Illinois sales tax.

It’s also important to know that a resale number is not the same as an EIN (Employer Identification Number):

• A resale number is issued by the Illinois Department of Revenue. It allows you to buy products for resale without paying sales tax, and it also lets you collect sales tax from your own customers.

• An EIN is issued by the IRS. It’s used for federal business identification, payroll, and tax reporting. Having an EIN does not exempt you from Illinois sales tax.

👉 To be set up as tax-exempt in our system, please send a copy of your Resale Certificate to accounting@truecolorwholesale.com.
When sending the certificate, please also include the email address and phone number registered to your customer account.

Once your certificate is verified, we will update your account to tax-exempt status, and sales tax will no longer be applied to your orders.
