Many organizations qualify to make sales tax-exempt purchases. The Walmart Tax-Exemption Program (WTEP) is our tool to allow an exempt customer to be recognized for automatic removal of taxes during checkout of purchases from Walmart.com. Please contact your tax advisor or your state or local taxing authority to determine if your organization qualifies for sales tax-exemption.
If your organization is qualified to purchase tax-exempt goods, the Walmart Tax-Exemption Tool will guide you through the process of enrolling in WTEP. You will be prompted to answer questions specific to the type of exemption applicable to your organization and select the states in which you qualify for sales tax-exemption.
Even though you may be approved in WTEP, sales tax may still be charged on the following orders/items:
