Set tax status
The tax information (taxable or tax-exempt) that’s entered for your organization is used for both subscription and apps purchases, and can be set or changed by any user with the role of Administrator. If you change your tax status in the middle of a month, this will be reflected immediately for any new app purchases, and on your next subscription receipt. A user with the role of Administrator can enter your tax information as taxable or tax-exempt. If you select tax-exempt in Canada or the United States, you must provide one of the following:
An Apple Customer Number (ACN)
A new certificate that you create using the Exemption Certificate Wizard in Apple School Manager

Select your name at the bottom of the sidebar, select Preferences , then select Organization Settings .
Select Submit Tax Information, select your tax status, then select Continue.
If you select Taxable, read the dialog, then select Done.
If you select Tax-Exempt, enter your ACN, select Continue, then select Done.
If you don’t have an ACN, select Exemption Certificate Wizard, select Submit Tax Exemption, then step through the Exemption Certificate Wizard. When you’re finished, select Done.
