Sales Tax Policy – Brotherhood of Humanity
At Brotherhood of Humanity, we are committed to transparency in pricing and compliance with applicable tax regulations. This Sales Tax Policy explains when and how sales tax is applied to purchases made on brotherhoodofhumanity.com.
1. Sales Tax Collection
We collect and remit sales tax in accordance with national, state, and local tax laws in the regions where we are legally required to do so.
Sales tax (or its equivalent, such as VAT or GST) may apply to your order depending on:
The delivery destination,
The type of products purchased, and
Applicable laws governing medical and mobility equipment in that region.
Where required, taxes will be clearly itemized and displayed at checkout before you confirm payment.
2. Tax-Exempt and Medical Equipment Considerations
Many of our products — including mobility aids, wheelchairs, bathroom safety equipment, and similar assistive devices — may qualify for sales tax exemptions or reduced rates under certain disability, healthcare, or medical equipment provisions.
If you are eligible for a tax exemption (for example, you are purchasing on behalf of a person with a disability, a healthcare provider, or a registered medical organization), you may be required to provide valid documentation, such as:
A medical device exemption certificate
A doctor’s note or prescription for a qualifying mobility product
A tax exemption ID number or official letter
To apply for a tax exemption:
Complete your order but do not submit payment.
Contact us at 📧 contact@brotherhoodofhumanity.com with your documentation.
Once verified, we will adjust or refund any applicable tax amounts as permitted by law.
Note: Tax exemption eligibility and procedures vary by region. We recommend checking your local regulations or consulting a tax professional if you’re unsure.
3. International Orders
For international purchases, duties, import taxes, and value-added taxes (VAT) may be assessed by your local customs authority upon delivery.
These charges are the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise stated during checkout.
Brotherhood of Humanity is not responsible for delays or additional charges incurred during customs processing.
4. Displayed Prices
All prices on brotherhoodofhumanity.com are displayed in [insert currency, e.g., USD, CAD, AUD, GBP] and, unless stated otherwise:
Exclude applicable sales tax, VAT, or GST (which will be added at checkout), or
Include taxes if required by your local regulations (clearly marked as “tax included”).
5. Tax Refunds for Returned Items
If you return a product for a refund, any applicable sales tax will also be refunded to you in accordance with our Refund Policy.
If you receive a partial refund or store credit, the corresponding tax amount will be adjusted proportionally.
6. Tax Compliance
Brotherhood of Humanity complies with all relevant tax collection and remittance obligations under applicable national, state, and local laws. We use trusted platforms and processors (such as Shopify) to calculate and manage tax rates automatically based on the latest regulatory data.
