Calculating Sales Tax in MD: Need Advice

In summary, to calculate sales tax in Maryland, you will need to know the current sales tax rate for your specific location and multiply the total amount of your purchase by 0.06. Some common exemptions to sales tax in Maryland include food purchased for consumption at home, prescription drugs, and certain medical equipment. If you have nexus in Maryland, you are required to collect sales tax on online sales. Sales tax returns are due quarterly or monthly if you collect more than $2,500 per year. While a sales tax calculator can be used as a guide, it is best to use the most up-to-date sales tax rate for your location.

Hi I live in MD and the sales tax is 5%. It's set at 5% in Pampered Partner but when I added up my sales at my show and then went home and entered the order I was charging more about 17 cents more for each client. I'm at a total loss. Any ideas what I should do?
 
Did you charge shipping tax? Some states charge tax on the shipping, some do not. You have to put that in yourself. Check and see if you accidently put it in.

I know my SIL has done shows for me (she lives in MD) and it is a state which taxes shipping.

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the sales tax in your Pampered Partner account. It sounds like there may be a discrepancy in the tax rates for your state. I would recommend double checking the tax rate for MD in your account and also checking with your state's tax agency to confirm the correct rate. If there is still an issue, you can reach out to Pampered Chef's customer service for further assistance. I hope this helps and good luck with your sales!
