The Federal Internet tax moratorium bars the imposition of new taxes on the Internet itself and things like Internet access services. It doesn't change the applicability of state and local taxes to sales transactions. Accordingly, Gateway and its affiliates collect such taxes on the sale of merchandise online, based on rates and rules applicable to the shipping address. These tax rates and rules can change at any time.

Taxes are calculated based on the taxable price of the item(s) purchased. In some states the taxable price includes discounts per item and an allocation of item-level discounts. Some states tax the shipping and handling charges too. Gateway and its affiliates collect applicable sales/use tax on merchandise in those states where it is legally obligated to do so. In other states, you are responsible for remitting any applicable sales/use tax on merchandise directly to the appropriate state. With respect to 3rd Party Warranty items, Gateway collects sales tax on behalf of the 3rd Party Warranty provider on various Warranty items sold.

Please Note: Order totals calculated during checkout show estimated tax. Actual final tax amounts appear on the order invoice, based on tax rates and rules applicable when the order is shipped. On the rare occasion when a system or communication error occurs while an order is being entered on-line, the estimated tax amount on screen will be shown as "TBD" (To Be Determined).

Tax-exempt organizations should provide Gateway with a copy of their exemption certificate, resale certificate, or proof of exempt status for the state where purchased item(s) will be shipped. Non-profits should provide proof of their 501(c)(3) status or other acceptable exemption certification. Federal agencies should provide a federal tax ID certificate.
