Sales Tax

The law requires the Great Books Foundation to collect sales tax in Arizona, California, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington. Individuals cannot claim tax-exempt status. Only nonprofit organizations with a tax-exempt ID number can claim tax-exempt status.

The sales tax stated during checkout is an estimate. The exact tax will be charged during final processing based on the applicable city, county and state tax rates.

Note: Schools in Arizona, California, North Carolina, and Washington are not tax-exempt and are therefore subject to sales tax.

The steps for placing an order from a tax-exempt organization are as follows:

• Enter the organization's name on the company line of the account and the tax-exempt ID number in the appropriate box.
• Fax the organization's tax-exempt letter to customer service at (312) 407-0224. Include the order number on the fax cover sheet.
• Your order will be held until the Foundation receives the tax-exempt letter. When the letter is received sales tax will be removed from the order total and subsequent orders from the organization will be processed as tax-exempt.

If you have any questions, please call 1-800-222-5870.
