Confused About Sales Tax Calculation for Catalog Show? Get Clarification Here!

[pcchris]

Hi!
I have a friend who is having a catalog show for me and she does not live in my state! I entered all of her info into my PWS, and the show came up with the 5% food tax in WV, but no sales tax. Cool, I think to myself...no sales tax! However, when I go into CC, and do a tax rate lookup, it says that there should be a 6% sales tax. I'M CONFUSED!!!!!!!! Can anyone clarify for me?? I would think that the PWS would calculate the correct tax, but I don't want to screw anything up. Thanks in advance for your help. I shouldn't type that...then no one responds. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

My neighbors in WV have a 6% sales tax and 5% on food.

HTH,

If she is a new zip code, I was told that it can take a few MONTHS for the PWS to catch up with the tax rates. I had this happen on a local show.

I ended up changing it to my zip code which has the same tax.

Yes, she is in a "New" zip code...and I can't figure out how to change the sales tax rate in PWS. If I change the zip to something else, how does she get the stuff shipped to her? Do I have to change the ship to address to reflect the correct zip code? I've never done an out of state show before, so this is new to me!! Thanks for the help!!

If it's a new ZIP code, the old one (that was effective for that house/lot before the new one was created) will still work. My house is part of a new ZIP, and a lot of websites still flag it as invalid. So then I use the old one.
