Sales tax is a tax imposed by state governments on the sale of goods and services. E-commerce sales tax is no different, except that it is applied to purchases made online. Every state has a different approach to e-commerce sales tax, so you need to be aware of what your state’s regulations are when it comes to charging and collecting taxes on internet purchases. Whether or not you must charge sales tax depends on a few different factors such as where the item is being purchased from, where it’s being shipped to, and the type of product being sold. Knowing your state’s rules can help you make sure that you’re compliant with local laws, while still providing customers with great service.
