Do I have to collect sales tax?

Sales taxes are required in all states that impose them. As a buyer, if a seller fails to charge you a sales tax, you’re not required to pay the sales tax. As a seller, if you fail to collect and/or pay a sales tax, and the tax authority determines it’s due, the authority will assess penalties and interest. They can ultimately take assets or put liens on them, which can have negative effects on your credit.

Sales tax is the percentage of the total purchase which is taxed. It is a one-off tax, and the collection is carried out in the sale process to the end consumer. Thus, the tax is paid by the buyer to the seller during the shopping, and from the company to the state. Sales taxes vary by state and region, so we get local and state differences. And for example, the UK and EU have their own rates and taxation features.

Sales tax by state

The tax rate is set at the local and state levels. There is no specific indicator for all of America. For example, in some US states, such a tax is not levied at all. Therefore, if you are trading remotely with other certain US states, be sure to familiarize yourself with the laws and determine whether you need to pay sales tax and what is its current rate.

Local level taxes

The local tax rate is set on the basis of city or county laws. This can be either a fixed rate or a temporary rate that is entered for a project within a city or county. Usually, local rates are much lower than state taxes, but you need to be aware of their presence.
