Tax Exempt Orders

EVERYONE WISHING TO PLACE A TAX-EXEMPT ORDER MUST FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Read ALL information provided on this page.

These instructions apply to everyone. This includes people ordering for a school/school district.

In order to place a tax-exempt order you must follow these instructions BEFORE placing the order. If your shopping cart lists taxes, then your account has not been set up to be tax-exempt.

Each person wishing to place a tax-exempt order (for a school, school district, or other tax-exempt entity) must complete these instructions. Because accounts are tied to an individual’s email address, there are no pre-made school or district accounts.

This process only needs to be completed once, as long as you are logging in to the same account. You do not need to complete this process every year.

Step 1

To order as a tax-exempt entity, please create an account with the UIL Online Store powered by PepWear. DO NOT PLACE AN ORDER YET. YOU WILL BE CHARGED TAXES.
If you already have an account, proceed to Step 2.

Step 2

Send a copy of your tax exemption certificate to PepWear, referencing the email address you used to create the account. Send to: customerservice@pepwear.com.

Step 3

Afterwards, wait to receive an email confirmation from PepWear that your account has been configured for tax-exempt status. Do not place an order before receiving this confirmation email or the order will include taxes. Emails are typically responded to in 24–48 hours.

Information for customers creating a new account

  • PepWear does not have school district tax exemption certificates “on file.” You must complete the instructions listed above, including sending your exemption certificate.
  • If you have not completed the instructions listed above for your account, then you must complete them before being able to place a tax-exempt order.
  • Every individual wishing to create a tax-exempt account must complete the instructions listed above. Just because someone else from your school district/school has a tax-exempt account does not mean your account is also tax-exempt.
  • Just because your school/school district is tax-exempt does not mean your account is automatically tax-exempt. Everyone must complete the instructions listed above.
