Letโ€™s dive in and discuss what you need to know about collecting and remitting sales tax as an eCommerce business owner.

What Is a Sales Tax?

Sales tax is a tax placed on specific items or goods when they are sold. Most states and Washington D.C. charge sales tax on various goods. Sales tax in the USA is a consumption tax on the sale of goods and services โ€“ it is only levied on the final transaction with the customer โ€“ no one else along the supply chain has any charging or reporting requirements.

The tax is imposed at a state level, so there is no federal law which governs the tax for the USA as a whole. The first state to implement a sales tax was West Virginia in 1921 and since then, it has been adopted by 46 states (and is used in Washington DC).

Although the tax is charged by the state and local authorities, it is administered by the seller who is responsible for charging it. A merchant must charge sales tax if it has a ‘Nexus’ in the state, which is the USAโ€™s fancy way of saying โ€œa legal obligation to register and collect sales taxโ€.Sales tax is collected and remitted by the SELLER of the item. Sellers have to not only collect the sales tax but also register as a collector of sales tax and provide the correct amount of sales tax to the government based on the amount and type of goods sold during the tax collection period.

As a state-level tax, sales tax differs between states. Depending on the jurisdiction, some counties and cities in the United States also charge their own separate sales tax.

Why Do Sales Taxes Exist?

Sales taxes are implemented in areas looking to maintain or improve public services. Things like roads, schools, and emergency services receive funding based partly on the sales tax percentage in the area they operate in. The more sale tax collected, the more funding these services potentially receive.

However, excessive sales taxes can cause economic slowdowns. As the price of items increases, more folks opt out of purchasing that category of items. Thus, states and counties have to balance their service funding levels with consumer attitudes in their areas.

Which States Donโ€™t Have a Sales Tax?

Overall, 45 states charge some amount of sales tax, as well as Washington D.C. Some counties and cities within these states have a sales tax for that area, but these are rare across the country. So almost all states in the US charge sales taxes. However, there are a few that don’t.

The five states that donโ€™t charge any sales tax are:

  • Alaska
  • Delaware
  • Montana
  • New Hampshire
  • Oregon

An easy way to remember these states is with the acronym NOMAD. Each letter represents the first letter of the state that doesnโ€™t charge sales tax (New Hampshire, Oregon, Montana, Alaska, and Delaware).

Do You Have To Charge Sales Tax for eCommerce?

Sales taxes for eCommerce businesses must be collected for sales in every state where they have an ECONOMIC NEXUS. This arrangement gets into strange legal definitions and precedence, so letโ€™s clarify the details.

What Is a Nexus?

Nexus comes from the Latin word โ€œto bindโ€ or โ€œto tie.โ€ In sales tax law, it refers to a state where a seller should collect sales tax based on one or more factors.

Nexus means โ€˜connectionโ€™, and it is the legal test that states must use to implement tax laws. Every state has its own sales tax requirements and each can prescribe its own definition of sales tax nexus that compels a business to comply with their laws.

Most of these factors come down to business operations that would establish a sales tax nexus according to the stateโ€™s law. ย Those factors are:

  • A physical location in the state, such as an office, warehouse, or manufacturing site for taxable goods (even an outsourced fulfillment companyย is considered a nexus)
  • Residence of a worker in a state that operates under your business
  • The storage of inventory for your business in a state
  • Sales significant enough to trigger an economic nexus under state law, generally at $100,000 worth of sales or 200 individual points of sale
  • Affiliates selling or marketing your goods in a particular state
  • The presence of a drop shipping relationship in the state
  • The sale of products at a trade show or other mass gathering in the state

Physical Versus Economic Nexus

There are two types of nexus in terms of sales taxes – either physical nexus or economic nexus. A physical nexus is some sort of physical location or employees. Don’t forget though – even using a 3rd Party Warehouse is considered a physical nexus! Economic nexus is when a company makes enough dollar sales or has a certain number of sales transactions. In many states, that amounts to either $100,000 of sales in a year or 200 transactions.

Your economic nexus can change depending on the state. While most use the abovementioned figures, many states have thresholds below or above these values. Knowing the economic nexus threshold for your state is important for remitting the correct amount of taxes.

Historically, states were only allowed to use physical tests to determine nexus. For example, having an office or warehouse storage, employees or even contractors in a state can create what is called Physical Nexus. However, a landmark ruling by the US Supreme Court (South Dakota v. Wayfair, 2018) eliminated the physical presence rule as the standard for creating nexus in a jurisdiction and gave states the right to implement Economic Nexus rules. Instead of focusing on whether the business has a physical presence, states can look at their business activity. The number of transactions or amount of revenue a seller has in a state is now the determining factor for states to compel compliance.

South Dakota v. Wayfair

This Supreme Court ruling came down in 2018 after the state of South Dakota sued an online retailer for sales tax despite the retailer not having any physical presence in North Dakota. Before this ruling, states lost billions of dollars each year in uncollected sales tax due to retailers not being required to collect and remit sales tax to state governments.

The ruling overturned decisions made in previous Supreme Court cases, including Quill v. North Dakota and National Bellas Hess v. Illinois.

Quill v. North Dakota involved the state suing Quill Corp, a retailer, for sales tax. However, the corporation proved that it had no economic nexus to the state at that time due to the lack of physical presence in the state, resulting in the decision favoring Quill.

National Bellas Hess helped form the foundation of the Quill v. Dakota case in 1967, though with a mail order catalog business instead of eCommerce. Again, the court ruled that the mail-order company had no reason to collect sales tax for Illinois without a physical presence in the state.

With the decision laid out by South Dakota v. Wayfair and the adoption of the standards found in that case, there are roughly 12,000 jurisdictions of sales tax eCommerce businesses have to worry about!

If you sell via your own website, sales tax is your responsibility. All 47 US states that have sales tax oblige the seller to register and charge sales tax on their transactions if the sales are made on a web shop. Regardless of whether you deliver your products from outside the US or from fulfilment centre(s) in the states, it is your responsibility to determine whether you have created a Nexus in the state where your website has delivered to and register accordingly. Even if the majority of your sales are done on a marketplace, if you are โ€œomni-channelโ€ and also sell to the US from your own site, the obligations will still apply.

Marketplaces With Built-In Sales Tax

A sellerโ€™s nexus obligations will depend on how they sell their product โ€“ do they use their own website or a marketplace? A marketplace refers to any communal website that caters for numerous retailers and shoppers. The most popular markets in the U. S. are Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and Etsy. The general rule is this: in most states, sales tax is the marketplaceโ€™s problem. Several marketplaces have tools built into their services to collect sales tax to help eCommerce businesses collect and remit sales tax. Here are some of the larger names and how they do it:

Amazon –ย Amazon uses the location of the buyer and seller when determining the sales tax of an order from a customer. For United States orders, Amazon lists that they may collect sales tax for 48 states and regions in and around the US, including Alaska, which doesnโ€™t normally charge sales tax.

Every order has an estimated sales tax amount listed before the order is placed for the customer to review.

Etsy –ย Much like Amazon, Etsy automatically collects sales tax on orders from over 30 states and territories in the United States.

Depending on how the customer orders your items, Etsy either collects the sales tax for the seller or charges the seller for sales tax as part of their monthly Etsy bill. Regardless of when the sales tax is collected, Etsy helps independent crafters collect sales tax.

Walmart –ย While Walmart can collect sales tax for their partners, it isnโ€™t automatic without setting up some information on your partner page. Your business will need to enter the appropriate tax IDs to the states you deal in for Walmart to start this process.ย Once you enter all the info, Walmart will collect and remit sales taxes automatically for their partners during each point of sale.

eBay –ย eBay automatically applies sales tax to orders in states where marketplaces are legally obligated to do so. Otherwise, eBay provides tools and guidance for sellers on how to apply sales tax to their goods based on where their customers are or where to send sales tax remittances after a sale.

What Products Are Subject to Sales Tax?

Because sales taxes occur at the state level, there isnโ€™t a unified code of what is and is not subjected to sales tax. While a few categories are not taxed, the list of things that are taxed varies widely.

For example, most states do not charge sales tax on food in places like groceries stores or restaurants. However, a handful of states, like Arkansas, West Virginia, and Tennessee, do charge sales tax for food.

Almost all states do not charge sales tax on prescription drugs, though some states, like Illinois, do charge a small sales tax on non-prescription drugs.

However, one thing states do share when it comes to sales tax is that they will consider purchases for both goods and services as possible sales tax targets. As our economy focuses more on services over good production, states realize that taxing services will increase their revenue.

The easiest way to find out what is or is not taxable in your state is to review the tax guidelines on the stateโ€™s website. The FTA has a compilation of tax and revenue law pages for states that makes for a great resource during this research.

Dropshippers and Sales Tax

Dropshipping refers to a business with orders for goods handled by third parties. The dropshipping business collects orders for manufacturers, and then the manufacturers make, pack, and ship the order to the customer. Dropshipping works well with on-demand style manufacturing since manufacturers donโ€™t have to make goods until the orders come in.

Dropshipping companies have to follow the same rules that other eCommerce businesses do with sales tax. However, dropshipping companies also have to worry about where their partnered businesses are, as that can also create a sales tax nexus for the dropshipping business.

A resale certificate can help offset some of the headaches around registering for sale tax, though. These certificates allow you to register with a state to obtain items for resale without paying sales tax. Some states accept other statesโ€™ resale certificates, allowing you to reduce the number of certificates you have to obtain to do business across state lines.

Not all states accept out-of-state certifications, though. If you work with any of these states, youโ€™ll have to get the state-specific resale cert:

  • Alabama
  • California
  • Florida
  • Hawaii
  • Illinois
  • Louisiana
  • Maryland
  • Massachusetts
  • Washington
  • Washington D.C.

Retail Arbitrage and Sales Tax

Retail arbitrage refers to the practice of buying an item for a low price and reselling it for a higher price on a different platform or marketplace. Retail arbitrage generally relies on finding good prices on items in a physical location and reselling them for a higher price online.

Much like with other eCommerce businesses, retail arbitrage businesses have to collect sales tax after reselling their goods to a buyer who seeks to own or use the item rather than resell it. The amount of sales tax depends on where the customer is, just like normal.

Most of the platforms folks use for arbitrage today include sales tax as part of the point of sale. Amazon, eBay, and similar commerce giants have built-in tools for calculating estimated sales tax or tools to help sellers factor in sales tax for them to collect later.

What are Sales Tax Holidays?

A sales tax holiday is a specified period where products that would normally be taxable become exempt from sales tax. Almost 20 states offer sales tax holidays each year (the exact number of states depends on whether some states implement new holidays or allow existing holidays to expire).

Sales tax holidays that apply to several products do exist, but the main idea of a tax-free period in most states is usually for one of the following reasons:

  • School subsidies at the start of a new term (specified clothing and school supplies)
  • Disaster preparedness (specified supplies to help taxpayers weather floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes)
  • Carbon neutral / “Green” initiatives (specified energy-efficient products)Health, hygiene and welfare
    Second Amendment (specified ammunition, guns, and hunting supplies)

The details of each tax holiday vary by state. It doesnโ€™t really matter what products qualify for the temporary exemption, consumers always love tax-free periods since the goods they buy become cheaper. Most businesses donโ€™t hate the holidays since they boost demand as consumers shop more, so it usually helps their sales.

However, sales tax holidays can be a pain in the backside for businesses because they have to update their systems to ensure tax isnโ€™t charged on those sales during the tax-free period. It gets even more painful, but in some states local governments arenโ€™t required to participate in sales tax holidays, so retailers might eb forced to exempt the state portion of the tax, but apply some local sales taxes.

Some tax exemptions during the holiday are based on value, so a product than is less than $50 might be exempt, but anything more and the tax still applies. Finally, sellers must also understand how the tax holiday impacts the taxability of shipping and other ancillary charges.

How To Handle Sales Tax With Refunds

Not every purchase customers make will end after the sale. For any number of reasons, a customer may wish to return an item or receive a refund on their purchase after poor service, products not being the right size or products that generally don’t meet the customers’ expectation. In these cases, eCommerce businesses need to know what to do about the sales tax they collected.

In general, you should refund sales tax along with the purchase amount when fulfilling a refund. This practice ensures that you do not collect excess sales tax and that the original customer receives their full refund.

Businesses that donโ€™t refund sales tax may find themselves receiving an audit or other legal recourse if not returning sales taxes. Many states have resources for those that believe they paid too much on sales tax, allowing them to get the state involved with refunding the money.

Penalties When You Donโ€™t Comply With Sales Tax

States have the right to legally demand all historic taxes you should have paid to them, and they can add ruinous penalties on top of that. There are severe consequences for not paying sales tax to the government when tax collection comes around.

Generally, the first step in this process is that the business receives a letter or other form of contact indicating that the business owes sales tax. This correspondence requires that the business submits accurate sales tax information and payment within a listed time frame, or else the government charges a large penalty for tax evasion.

The amount due in penalties depends on the state. On average, states charge an extra 30% of the sale tax owed to the government as a penalty. Thus, being on the hook for $5,000 of sales tax means you would owe an extra $1,500 to the government.

Each US state has the right to impose its own penalties. In most cases this will be levied as a percentage of the tax you owe, with interest applied as well. For example,, New York will penalise you 10% of the tax due for the first month plus 1% for each additional month or part of a month. California will also whack you with 10% of the tax payable, but they also reserve the right to charge a โ€œCollection Cost Recovery Feeโ€, which is at their discretion.

These penalties have to come out of your pocket. You generally cannot repay over a period or delay outside of the provided window. This is especially true in cases suspected of tax fraud or cover-ups.

In addition to the financial penalties that can be payable, there are other ways non-compliance can impact your business negatively, including:

  • Your website could be shut down by the state
  • You will fail a due diligence analysis if you ever sell or list your business
  • It will create irreparable reputational damage
  • Your product could be banned in the USA

Failure to comply with sales tax law can result in higher financial penalties or jail time depending on the state and the amount of money owed by the business.

How To Comply With Sales Tax Laws

To ensure that you collect and remit the correct amount of sales tax each year, we have some guidelines you can follow regardless of your economic nexus:

Register for a Sales Tax Permit

A sales tax permit makes it clear to the state that you are an online seller and that you want to work with the government to submit accurate sales tax info. Registering for a permit also makes it easier to set up sales tax calculations on many online marketplaces since you will need your tax ID for most of the automation. It’s important to note that you must register is all states where you have a physical or economic nexus. Generally, registration involves completing a detailed registration and providing supporting documentation.

Set up Sales Tax Collection in Your Shop

For businesses using a large, established online marketplace, you will see that most or all instances of sales tax happen automatically for you. These companies collect and remit sales tax for you, allowing you to focus on your business and sales.

Otherwise, you might need to look into setting up a sales tax calculator and tracking sales for your business using tax management software. Many online shopping carts either offer a form of sales tax compliance or integrate with sales tax software.

Report and File Collected Sales Tax

Once you have your tax information in order, you will want to send that info to your state government to have their tax and revenue department review the data. Along with this data, you may be asked to send any sales tax not yet submitted from your automatic collection services or online market platforms.

Pros and Cons of Doing Sales Tax Yourself

Much of your eCommerce business model will decide how you have to handle sales tax. Businesses using large platforms will likely find that most or all of their sales tax calculations and tracking happen automatically. However, those running a shop for their website or small business might not be so lucky.

Most businesses hire or contract financial services or purchase tax management software to handle their sales tax. You can do these tasks in-house, which does come with some upsides:

  • You spend less money overall obtaining the tools, rather than the staff or contractor
  • People in your business know what your business is like and what its sales figures are, leading to less confusion
  • Financial data stays within the company, helping to prevent leaks of sensitive data

Still, there are some downsides to doing your sales tax in-house:

  • A lack of expertise can increase the chance of errors due to missing or neglected information
  • Avoiding software tools allows for mistakes or missed deadlines
  • You have to spend extra time on taxes that could be handled by another party or automated software
  • Sales taxes can get complicated – for example, a single transaction in one state may require 3-4 different taxes to be charged and remitted
  • Each state has different filing portals, methods and requirements, and keeping up with all of them is cumbersome
  • Tax offices may require ongoing questions about your returns, adding to administration and compliance

Overall, the best practice for most businesses is to obtain and use tax management software in-house. This practice lets a business keep all of its tax information private and performed by your own in-house staff while still getting the benefits of a semi-automated tool to speed up tax reporting.

Things to Look for in a Good Sales Tax Software

US sales tax is complex for many reasons: there are 47 different states, each with their own rules, There are over 13,000 local taxing jurisdictions, each with their own rates, and there are an infinite number of potential products to sell, each of which will have unique taxability.

The first thing you might consider when assessing sales tax software is โ€œPoint of saleโ€ tax calculation. Most eCommerce platforms, accounting packages or payment solutions will have the functionality to be configured for sales tax โ€“ but they need to be set up correctly. They may not be 100% accurate when it comes to tax rates, these are sufficient to use if configured accurately. (It will need to be based on your circumstances โ€“ specifically where you are registered for tax and your product catalogue).

If your platform doesnโ€™t have an option to calculate sales tax calculation, you may want to consider software that can integrate with your website and take care of this.

Charging sales tax at checkout is only one very small part of a big Sales Tax puzzle. You need to know where you have nexus โ€“ and this is an ongoing requirement since you will have to monitor your sales activity in all states so you know if you have to start charging sales tax in new states.

Therefore, software that automatically monitors your nexus exposure in all states is preferable.

Once registered, you have an ongoing compliance obligation: you have to file a sales tax return with each state where you report the amount of tax you charged and remit the funds to the tax office. These returns are filed monthly or quarterly in most states.

Calculating and collecting sales tax is almost impossible without intelligent, rules-based automation. The software should be able to automatically work out the latest rate to apply to a transaction, cross-checking thousands of state rules and regulations to improve accuracy. The importance of having an automated reporting system is fundamental.

Once the correct rate has been applied to every transaction, you still have the not-so-small job of creating and filing the tax returns to each state. Populating tax returns can be simple in some states, but in others they have multiple localities, each of whom want your sales broken down to a very granular level.

Your sales tax platform needs to build your returns and then file them to the appropriate state tax office. All a seller should need to do is get their sales data into the software, tell it what products they sell and where they are registered, and the system should be able to do all the heavy lifting.

Finally, filing the tax return can be difficult. While many states still require a manual population of the return, some states will accept an upload, and a few states have an electronic filing option. It can be a huge benefit if your sales tax software has the functionality to output the tax returns in a format that is eligible for upload, and even better if it can do the electronic filing automatically in the states that allow it.

Warehousing and Fulfillment was the perfect matchmaker in finding us a fulfillment partner.

I highly recommend W&F, particularly to anyone whose business relies on a strong fulfillment partner.
