Which State's Sales Tax Applies for Direct Shipping to Another State?

[cookingmommy]

Hi...another question from a newbie.

I had someone buy something last night and it needed to be shipped to her house in Florida. I did direct shipping but do I use the sales tax for the state the party is in (Connecticut) or the state it is being shipped to (Florida)?

Thanks for the help!

You use the tax of the state to which it is being shipped. Tax rates vary by county in Florida. You'll need to check the tax rates on consultant's Corner.

Yup, just did this the other night too.

If the guest's city/state is more than 100 miles from your own, it won't come up on PP3 automatically. You have to enter it manually and as Carolyn said look up the tax rate on CC.

Depending on what state it is, PP3 will charge the tax to the S/H or not.

Thanks....I think I might be out a few cents. Oh well. This is a difficult thing since I can't anticipate where people might be shipping things.
