Do You Need to Pay Taxes on Shipping?

[melaniepc]

do you tax shipping? I am so confused.........

Yes, take the product total + 4.25 x tax ammount.

Depends on the state law. Arkansas law does tax shipping but not all states do tax shipping.

Depends on the state. Some states do not collect tax on shipping.

I think it is somewhere on either the 3-part or computer receipt which states are which. I am sure it is somewhere on CC too.

From policies and procedures:

"In most states, shipping and handling is taxed. Refer
to the shipping and handling charges on the back of the
sales receipt to check your state."

Pantry items (tax rate or to tax or not vary state by state too)

EDIT:
This was on CC under Tax Guide:
NOTE: Remember that there is no sales tax for the following states: Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon, and, as such, will not be in the drop-down menu. Shipping and handling charges are taxable in all states except AK, DE, DC, IA, ID, IL, MA, MT, NH, OH, OK, OR, UT and WY.

my leader told me it was taxable. I am in mass

NO, shipping is not taxable in MA.
So when your adding up orders at a show (by hand) total the products add 5% sales then add shipping to that total. Remember our pantry products aren't taxable either.
