hello everyone, i am going to be doing two catalog shows one in Illinois and one in New Jersey but i need to know what the taxes are for the states so i can put that information into my hostess packets...thanks for your help
 
There is a tax lookup on Consultant's Corner.
 
On the bottom right hand corner of the main page of CC< there is a Tax Lookup link that will show you what the taxes are in each state. You may need to know the county in order to determine as some states have varying tax rates according to each county.
 
NJ sales TAX just went up last month to 7% (used to be 6%!). It's one of the states that doesn't charge tax on shipping though!

No tax on food.
 
Illinois also has no shipping on tax either!
So far, all my food tax for Illinois have been 1.25% - but definitely check it by county.
