Sales Tax

Build.com is required to collect sales tax for items shipped to destinations in the United States. As of July 1, 2019, Build.com collects sales tax in all U.S. states unless a valid Sales & Use Tax Resale Certificate is presented prior to purchase.

Tax-Exempt Customers

Customers claiming Sales Tax Exempt status must provide proof of tax exemption from the state that purchases are being shipped to. 

On your Account Details Page, click the 'Go to TTR' button and follow the prompts to get the correct certificates for the states you're exempt in. Everything can be filled out online and approved quickly. Once approved you'll check out tax free. If you have further questions contact a Build.com representative at 800-375-3403, or email cs@build.com.

If Sales Tax has been charged on a recent order and you need to take advantage of your previously established tax exempt status, please ensure that the exemption on file is current and for the state that you shipped to. Visit your Account Details Page, clicking the 'Go to TTR' button and address any incomplete or expired certificates and submit. Once submitted, email BLD-Taxexempt@Ferguson.com to facilitate a refund. If you have further questions contact a Build.com representative at 800-375-3403, or email cs@build.com.
