My show is out in the county, outside the city limits. The host says tax is cheaper because it takes the 4% city tax out and we have no county tax in our county.

OUr state tax it 4%, city 4% and no county. Typically city shows were 8%, but shouldn't county shows be 4%?

TIA
 
Consultants Corner (in the top right box) will breakdown exactly what the tax is and where each part of the tax come from... HTH!

So since she isn't in the city limits I don't charge that rate, right?
 
I have no idea... Maybe try a fake order in P3 to see how it calculates it?
 
Around here, it's based on a few things, one being the county. Where I live, the city is in 4 counties! It's very strange. But even because someone would not be in the city limits doesn't mean they wouldn't be assessed the city tax. It's by city name and ZIP code, not by actual location. So unless their mailing address is different than the "in town people," tax would be the same unless she's in a different county.

Help, How Do I Figure the Tax Rate for My Pampered Chef Sales?

To figure the tax rate for your Pampered Chef sales, you need to know the sales tax rate for your specific state or locality. You can typically find this information on your state’s department of revenue website or by contacting a local tax office.

What If I Sell to Customers in Different States?
