Why is sales tax charged?

CDW is required to collect sales/use tax on all taxable goods and services we sell and required to self-assess and pay sales/use tax on all taxable purchases. This can be an administrative burden for many customers. CDW simplifies and reduces this tax burden by collecting and remitting sales/use tax on behalf of its customers. If you are exempt from sales tax, please file a tax exemption form and submit it to CDW at the time of purchase. The seller name should be listed as “CDW” and the description of purchase is listed as “technology products and services.”

For any questions, please contact your account manager. If you do not have an account manager with us, please contact Customer Relations.
