YET Another State TAX Question


Guest

Recommended Posts

OK, yet another tax question....

 

I sell a product in Alabama, State Tax rate is 4%, County 2%

If I sell in a city like Gulf Shores, the city adds 3%: Total 9%

If I sell in another Alabama city, the tax for the city may be 1%, add the state/county tax of 6% and I have to pay: 7%

 

So the Base is always 6% State/county, City taxes vary everywhere....

How is everyone handling internet sales in their home state where they are obligated by law to pay State Sales tax + County Tax + City Tax (If sold in a city jurisdiction) ?

For my stores, sales tax is calculated from the city the online store is based in (for example California 8.25% sales tax is charged to all California residents regardless of Cali location).

Jason,

Good Point ! I am just outside of a small town jurisdiction of 1%

I have not have any in-state sales yet. Good thing..I;d probably have overcharged them.

I probably need to set my sales tax for Alabama at 6% (State is 4% and County is 2%)

Guess I just had a huge brain fart !...

Thanks !!
