MBE Customers may be eligible for a refund of taxes paid on Amazon purchases shipped using e-box
Customers using our e-box shipping service have been enjoying a sales tax exemption status for purchases on Amazon.com. This tax exemption program was unexpectedly suspended between 1 December 2022 and 1 June 2023. Customers may have noticed that sales tax was once again applied to their purchases. We have been diligently working with Florida State regulatory authorities to reinstate this benefit for our customers and we are happy to report that the automatic tax exemption has been reinstated.
If you paid sales tax on your Amazon purchases that were shipped through your e-box air shipping service, we are pleased to inform you that you can apply for a refund of taxes that you paid. Amazon has made this process quick and easy and the tax is refunded directly to your credit card. The request process is fully integrated with our e-box platform. To apply for your refund(s), follow the steps below.
