Resale Certificates for Tax Exempt Purchases (Canada Only)

To facilitate tax exempt purchases in the provinces in which you maintain a tax-exempt status. Williams Sonoma must have on file, the appropriately completed provincial Resale Certificate forms when you place an order online or through a dedicated Trade Representative. Although you may have already sent us a copy of your (re)seller's license or permit, it is necessary for us to keep a complete copy of your signed Resale Certificate and/or permit on file. To ensure that no PST (Provincial Sales Tax) is charged on future purchases intended for resale, please complete the following steps.

1. Download all applicable Resale Certificates for each province in which you are a reseller by clicking on the appropriate province name below (note that these forms have been prepopulated with Williams-Sonoma's proper seller listing).

2. Open the file from your computer (not within the web browser). Print, complete, and sign each Resale Certificate (and/or Permits) from Step 1 above.

3. Email all pages of completed Resale Certificates and/or Permits to traderegistration@wsgc.com. Please include your name, company name, and membership ID within the email. Only one set of documents is required per firm.
