Fundraising & Sales Tax: What You Need to Know

[lraspante]

When doing a fundraiser the sales tax will be different for people based on where the items are being shipped, right? If yes then the place where the fundraiser is doesn't have outlets for the laptop, where do I get the rates then?

Yes, the tax is by the zip code to which the order is shipped. If it's all locally, you can look up the different towns around you to see what it is. You can always encourage cc payments or rounding up their order to compensate for the tax.

Yes, the sales tax will be different for people based on where the items are being shipped. If the fundraiser is taking place in a location without outlets for the laptop, you should research the sales tax rates for the nearest location with outlets and use that rate for your fundraiser. You can also consult with a tax professional for more specific guidance on sales tax rates for your fundraiser.
