There are a couple different outside orderforms on cc. One for states that have tax on shipping, one for states that don't charge tax on shipping and I think one where things are shipped to APO addresses. Make sure that you are using the correct one for your state.SilverCeladon said:
The sales receipt works like this for a state that does have shipping tax:
product total
shipping
tax on all of the above
food total
tax on food (if applicable - by state)
total of product/shipping/tax plus food/tax = due + round up.
Does that help at all?
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total amount of the order before tax?
The total amount of the order before tax is the sum of the product price and the shipping cost. In this case, it is $72.45 (product) + $14.00 (shipping) = $86.45.
How do I calculate the sales tax for the order?
To calculate the sales tax, you need to know the sales tax rate for your location. Once you have the rate, multiply the total amount before tax ($86.45) by the sales tax rate (expressed as a decimal).
What if the sales tax rate is 7%?
If the sales tax rate is 7%, you would calculate the sales tax by multiplying $86.45 by 0.07. This results in a sales tax of approximately $6.05.
What is the total amount due after including sales tax?
To find the total amount due after including sales tax, add the sales tax to the total amount before tax. For a sales tax of $6.05, the total amount due would be $86.45 + $6.05 = $92.50.
Are there any additional fees I should consider?
In addition to sales tax and shipping, you should check if there are any additional fees such as handling fees or service charges that may apply to your order. These can vary based on the seller's policies.
