If your company is exempt from State and County Sales and Use Tax, please send us a copy of your exemption certificate at shop@bakerhughes.com. If you don't provide a certificate, we are required to charge you sales tax on your ShopBakerHughes.com purchases. The Baker Hughes tax team usually takes 3 business days to validate your certificate.
Your state comptroller's website or your company's tax department are good places to look for the resale certificate form.
The certificate must include basic information, like the legal names and addresses of the buyer and seller, the buyer's state sales tax permit number, and a general description of the items sold.
