Is the Pampered Chef's 5% Discount Really 5%? Help!

[Deeder]

I did my show, tallied up the guest reciepts and collected payment. When I went home and entered everything into Partner Plus the tax was always less then what I totalled. It says 5% but the number they give is not 5% - it's less. What am I missing? Am I doing something wrong? Help!

Are you taxing shipping when it's not taxable in your area?

 

[Deeder]

Not wanting to sound too stupid but how do you know if shipping is taxable or not?

 

[DebbieJ]

Check the tax rate guide behind CC. Certain states tax S&H and others don't.

 

[chefann]

It's also on the receipt.S&H is not taxable in the following states: AK, DC, DE, IA, ID, IL, MA, MT, NH, OH, OK, OR, UT and WY

And are you forgetting that pantry items often are not taxed?

 

[Deeder]

Oops.... I am a moron. I didn't read the find print of the receipt. S&H is NOT taxable in MA. I feel so stupid. Thanks for helping me see the light!
