PartSmart’s Web site allows tax-exempt purchases

Navistar announced that eligible customers can make tax-exempt purchases through its PartSmart Web site – partsmartparts.com.

Tax-exempt customers include fleets that transport over state lines, resellers, government agencies and nonprofits. During online purchases, tax-exempt organizations are prompted to complete a tax-exempt form and provide proof of tax-exempt status. Once accepted, the customer’s profile within the partsmartparts.com site will automatically eliminate sales tax. State tax exempt status is required; federal tax-exempt status is not accepted.

“The tax-exempt functionality makes e-commerce for truck and bus parts more accessible to a greater percentage of our customers,” says Patti Corso, e-Commerce Catalog manager for Navistar Parts. “This one-time process will open a growing selection of online parts ordering to new customers throughout the United States.”
