How Do I Apply for a Tax-Exempt Purchase in the US and Canada?
Last updated April 2, 2025

For tax-exempt customers in the United States and Canada, Vista offers a streamlined process to register and apply tax exemptions to future purchases. Below are the steps to ensure your tax-exempt status is properly recorded and applied.

Refunds for Sales Tax Paid Before Exemption Approval

If you placed an order before your tax-exempt status was approved, you will need to request a tax refund through the appropriate tax office in your region. Specific state and provincial information can be found on the respective government websites.

Registering Your Tax-Exempt Status with Vista

Once your tax-exempt status is approved, all future purchases will reflect the exemption. Follow the steps below to register your status:

Step 1: Provide Proof of Tax-Exempt Status

To qualify for tax exemption, customers must submit proof of their tax-exempt status to VistaPrint customer service. Accepted documents include:

  • A valid exemption certificate (for US customers) or equivalent proof of exemption (for Canadian customers).
  • The form must include Vista’s headquarters address, where a Vendor/Seller’s Address is required: 275 Wyman Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, USA
  • The document must be signed and dated within the last year.

Step 2: Submit Documentation

Email your tax exemption documents to [email protected] and include the following:

  • The email address associated with your Vista account.
  • A non-editable copy of your tax-exemption certificate.
  • Information about which Vista entity you are purchasing from (You can find this information in your confirmation emails.):
    • Vistaprint Netherlands BV
    • Vistaprint Corporate Solutions

Step 3: Confirmation and Ongoing Exemption

Once your tax-exempt documentation is approved:

  • You do not need to resubmit it for future orders until it expires.
  • The exemption will be applied to your Vista account based on the expiration date provided in your documentation.
  • If no expiration date is listed, your account will be set to tax-exempt status for one year.
