Taxes on Shipping for Pantry Orders - Strange Question

[SandiLeigh]

I have a strange question.

I have an ordered I entered in which the person only puchased pantry items.

I know the pantry items are not taxed but It doesn't charge tax on the shipping portion of this order. Isn't the shipping supposed to be taxed?

Is there something different I have to do when they only buy Panty items?

Not all places have taxes on shipping - here in Illinois we don't so that could be the case for you.

It is a funny thing when customers order only non-taxable items. In that instance, the shipping is not taxed either.

I live in a state that doesn't tax the shipping so I don't have an answer for you.

I've noticed this, too. In PA, shipping is taxable, but when the person is only ordering pantry items, the shipping doesn't get taxed. Strange!

hmm - when I put an persons order up - it automatically puts .35 in the tax area - so I guess its taxed in NY too -
