WHOLESALE OPERATIONS WEBSITE

Ziply Fiber is responsible for collecting taxes and remitting them to the appropriate government agency. These taxes typically include, for example, state, county, and local sales tax, and they often vary by applicable state/region. If you purchase Ziply Fiber telecommunication services for resale, you may need to request exemption for taxes from each state for the applicable taxes and fees.

Ziply Fiber is not responsible for determining if you are entitled to any tax exemption. It is your responsibility to determine and claim any exemption to which you are entitled, to assert tax exemption only for services that fall within the exemption, and to provide appropriate and up-to-date documentation for such exemption(s).

Forms: Other than the Federal Universal Service Fund Form that you must submit to Ziply Fiber annually (see link below), Ziply Fiber does not provide exemption forms. Please obtain an exemption certificate from the governmental body imposing the tax. Exemption forms must be provided to Ziply Fiber before any tax exemption is placed on an account.

Certificate Submission: To the extent that you claim tax exemption, you must submit all properly executed certificates to Ziply Fiber upon doing business with Ziply Fiber, upon entering a new market, in the event of a change to your tax-exempt status, upon request by Ziply Fiber, and when submitting a billing dispute (see next section), as well as annually, unless Ziply Fiber agrees in writing that you do not need to submit a certificate annually. Submit completed forms by email to wholesale.tax.exemption@ziplyfiber.com.

Billing Disputes: If you dispute billing for taxes and fees based on tax exemption status, you must provide a copy of the relevant certificate with each dispute submitted to Ziply Fiber to establish, for example, that the service subject to the dispute is within the exemption.

Questions: Please contact your local taxing authority if you have questions about state and local tax exemption. For Federal Excise Tax Exemption questions, including eligibility, please contact the Internal Revenue Service.
