Babias Tax Policy | U.S. Sales Tax Information & Compliance

Last Updated: November 21, 2025

At Babias, we strive to make your shopping experience transparent and worry-free. This Tax Policy explains how sales tax is collected, calculated, and applied to orders shipped within the United States. It also covers exemptions, refunds, and documentation for your peace of mind.

1️⃣ When We Collect Sales Tax

Babias collects sales tax on orders shipped to U.S. states where we have a sales tax obligation (“nexus”). Nexus may exist due to:

Physical presence (office, warehouse, or store)
Third-party fulfillment centers
Marketplace facilitator obligations
Other activities defined by state law

If your shipping address is in a state where sales tax applies, the correct state and local sales tax will be calculated and added automatically at checkout.

2️⃣ How Sales Tax Is Calculated

Sales tax is based on your shipping address and the applicable state and local tax rates at the time of purchase.

Tax is displayed separately in your shopping cart and checkout page.
Product prices shown on our website do not include sales tax. Tax will always be visible before you complete your purchase.

3️⃣ Third-Party Sellers & Marketplace Facilitators

If you purchase a product fulfilled by a third-party seller or marketplace facilitator, the marketplace may handle sales tax collection and remittance for that transaction.

Sales tax will still appear at checkout.
Tax handling follows the marketplace’s policies, in compliance with state laws.

4️⃣ Exemptions & Resale Certificates

If you are exempt from sales tax (for example, with a resale certificate or other valid exemption), you must submit a valid exemption certificate to Babias before purchase.

Exemption certificates are reviewed at our discretion and in accordance with state regulations.
To submit, email support@babias.com with:
- Scanned copy of the exemption certificate
- Relevant order details

5️⃣ Sales Tax Refunds & Returns

If you return a product and are eligible for a refund:

The portion of sales tax related to the returned merchandise will be refunded according to state law.
Refunds will be issued to your original payment method or as store credit, depending on circumstances and state regulations.

6️⃣ Out-of-State Orders & Use Tax

If you live in a state where sales tax was not collected on your order, you may still be responsible for paying use tax directly to your state tax authority.

This policy does not remove your obligation to comply with local and state tax laws.

7️⃣ Order Invoices & Tax Documentation

An itemized invoice showing sales tax charged is included with your order confirmation email.
You can also access invoices in your Babias account order history.
For additional tax documentation for accounting or filings, email support@babias.com with your order number and specific request.
