<h2>Why you need Ultimate Tax Exemption</h2>
<p>By default, the site admin is not able to allow specific users or user roles to be exempted from tax and it’s not possible for customers to submit their tax exemption information for their tax exempt benefit while purchasing. That’s the reason we created this extension for their customers’ benefit by increasing customer satisfaction and site revenue.</p>
<h2>How it works</h2>
<p>By enabling the Allow Tax Exemption option under <strong>WooCommerce > Tax Exemption > Settings</strong>, your customers can either be exempted from tax or the tax exemption form can be submitted on their <em>My account</em> page.</p>
<h3>Adding a new form field for tax exemption</h3>
<p>Site admin can use the below custom form fields to create/update a tax exemption form under <strong>WooCommerce > Tax Exemption > Form Fields</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Text</li>
<li>Textarea</li>
<li>Checkbox</li>
<li>Number</li>
<li>Email</li>
<li>Phone</li>
<li>Radio</li>
<li>Select</li>
<li>File Upload</li>
</ul>

<h3>Managing custom form fields</h3>
<p>Here <strong>Tax Payer Name, Tax Number, Exempt Reason and Exempt Certificate</strong> fields have been created and activated by default. Only the fields which are active will appear under <strong>My account > Tax Exemption</strong> for the customers. Using drag & drop method site admin can sort the fields listed here as per their wish.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-18734004620030 size-full aligncenter" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/form-fields.png" alt="" width="1693" height="793" /></p>
<h3>Submitting tax exemption forms</h3>
<p>Customers can submit their tax exemption form under <strong>My account > Tax Exemption</strong> page. Once they have submitted their form it goes to <strong>pending</strong> status. Here customers can also have the ability to change/update their tax exemption submitted form by clicking the Resubmit button.</p>
<p>Alternatively, the site admin can also display the tax exemption form in a separate page by using our shortcode below, <strong>[asp_ute_tax_exemption_form]</strong></p>

<h3>Managing tax-exempt user submissions</h3>
<p>Site admin can manage all the users’ submitted tax exemption requests under <strong>WooCommerce > Tax Exemption > Manage Tax Exemptions</strong>. To approve/reject the submitted requests, to update the expiration date for the approved requests and modify the submitted details, etc. all these things can be managed easily by the site admin here.</p>
