Sales tax and tax exemption

Within the United States, Newegg.com charges tax on orders shipping to a number of states where Newegg is required to collect tax. There are only 3 conditions in which tax is not applied to an order: State/city does not have a sales tax requirement, state has a sales tax holiday (only for eligible items during certain times), and tax exemption is submitted and applied to an account. If you are a tax-exempt organization or reseller, you can apply for tax exemption on your Newegg.com orders within your account or during checkout.

State Tax Holidays

In accordance with state laws, Newegg participates in all state tax holidays. For a complete list of all state holidays and eligible/ineligible items, please see here: State Sales Tax Holiday Info
