Tax Exemption Policy

ARTC (Auto Rescue Tools & Computers) accepts valid resale exemptions for qualifying products purchased for resale. We do not collect sales tax on approved exempt orders. Exemption applies to US customers only.

Eligible Product Categories

Tax exemption applies to products purchased for resale without modification:

• Automotive keys, key blades, and key blanks
• Transponder keys and smart keys
• TPMS sensors
• Other consumable products intended for resale

Exemption does not apply to tools, equipment, software, or subscriptions regardless of business use.

Who Qualifies

• Licensed automotive locksmiths reselling keys and transponders to end customers
• Automotive repair shops reselling keys, TPMS sensors, or consumables as part of a repair
• Mobile automotive security specialists
• Parts distributors with a valid state resale certificate

Get Approved

Email your exemption documents to taxes@autorescuetools.com. Include your account email address so we can locate your customer record.

We review submissions same business day. Once approved, your account is marked exempt — no resubmission required unless your resale certificate expires.

Required Documents (both)

• Current state resale certificate (must match your state of business registration)
• EIN (Employer Identification Number) — IRS EIN letter or equivalent

Expired resale certificates will not be accepted. If your certificate expires, resubmit a current copy to maintain exempt status.
