We know that buying a new instrument or bow can be an important purchase and we’d like to do more to help bidders understand a possible sales tax liability. To be clear, Tarisio is required to collect New York or Massachusetts sales tax on all eligible purchases.
Is my purchase eligible for sales tax?
If your bidder ID is registered with a New York or Massachusetts address -OR- you accept your purchase (pick-up or delivery) in New York or Massachusetts, your purchase is eligible for sales tax.
How much is sales tax?
Sales tax is 8.875% in New York, and 6.25% in Massachusetts.
If sales tax is charged, which portion of my purchase is affected?
Sales tax is charged on all hammer, premium, insurance appraisal and certificate fees. It is not charged on shipping.
Wait! I’m a registered sales tax authority and reseller!
If you are a registered Massachusetts reseller, please complete a MA Sales Tax Resale Cert.
If you are a registered reseller in any other location, please complete a NY Sales Tax Resale Cert.
Please make sure the name of the entity on the Resale Cert is exactly the same as the entity with which you registered to bid.
