Create a tax exemption certificate in Salesforce CPQ and associate it with your account.
When your account has an active tax exemption certificate, Salesforce CPQ changes the account’s
Tax-Exempt field from No to Yes. ISV tax providers can use this field as a flag to determine
whether they want to apply tax to the account’s transactions. (Salesforce CPQ Managed Package)

Available in: Salesforce CPQ Winter ’18 and later
You must add the Tax Exemption Certificates related list to the account page layout.
Salesforce Billing doesn’t currently use the tax exempt field. We’ll let you know when it
does.
ISV tax providers determine whether to evaluate Salesforce CPQ’s tax exemption certificates
when applying tax. To confirm how they work with this feature, contact your tax provider of
choice.
Go to your account’s Tax Exemption Certificates related list and click New Tax
Exemption Certificate.
Provide a name, tax certificate details, and company information for your
certificate.
Select the Active field.
Select the Default field.
You can only select the Default field if the certificate is active, and you can only have
one default certificate at a time on your account.
Click Save.
Salesforce CPQ creates the tax exemption certificate for your account. If the
certificate is active and default, Salesforce CPQ also changes your account’s Tax-Exempt field
from No to Yes.
You can create multiple tax exemption certificates on a single account.
Your account’s Tax-Exempt field has a value of Yes as long as the account contains at least
one tax certificate that is default and active. When this is no longer the case, Salesforce CPQ
changes tax-exempt to No.
