mader656 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Paid sales tax on a internet order today i always thought tax rate was based on the shipping address montana (0%) not new york or is this new york milking the rest of us for more money? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandhiller Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 My understanding is states were whining about losing sales tax on internet orders. Also brick and mortar stores thought online sales with no sales tax were an unfair advantage to them that had to charge. I guess take your pick. But sales tax is charged based on the state the product/sale comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomorejohndeere Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 If the retailer has a nexus in some states then they collect from people in that state the rate would be based on the retailers state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that it depends on the address. NH has no sales tax and any time I order on the web I get no tax. Many sites have a page to estimate tax and shipping such as Rock Auto. If you put a tax state the sales tax appears but NH always comes up zero. I MT is a no tax state I think it may be a mistake. Yes, tax states were complaining about missing out on internet sales but I'm pretty sure you can't be charged if there's no tax in your state. I would contest the charges.

int 504 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I think it is based on your state also. My online purchases are all taxed at Maine rate regardless of where they originate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
