Yes, but you have to enter the rates for the state or country that you want to charge.]]> Fri, 23 Sep 2016 12:34:21 +0000 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=983&PID=2949&title=sales-tax#2949 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=983&PID=2948&title=sales-tax#2948 Author: Meltus

Does SalesCart deal with state tax automatically?]]> Fri, 23 Sep 2016 12:30:46 +0000 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=983&PID=2948&title=sales-tax#2948 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=983&PID=2947&title=sales-tax#2947 Author: admin

If you look at the second link, there is an article that discusses state by state. The vast number of customers tax freight.

We can make this happen for you but accounting has your account on hold. I'll send you a PM>]]> Sat, 30 Jul 2016 12:01:00 +0000 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=983&PID=2947&title=sales-tax#2947 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=983&PID=2946&title=sales-tax#2946 Author: Encoder

Not to get into an argument here, but that statement is an over-generalization and is largely incorrect when considering many common factors. In most states, sales tax becomes non-taxable if freight occurs after the point of title transfer (FOB Factory), freight is by common carrier and freight charges are separately stated. There are a small number of states that do not allow these exceptions, but they are currently by far not the norm.]]> Thu, 28 Jul 2016 16:11:19 +0000 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=983&PID=2946&title=sales-tax#2946 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=983&PID=2945&title=sales-tax#2945 Author: admin

Actually the law for most states is the other way around. Tax on freight follows the transaction. If the goods are exempt, the freight and handling is exempt. Basically, if shipping is a 'condition' of sale it is taxable. On the Internet, it is 99% of the time a necessary thing. Google "sales tax on freight".

I'm surprised this hasn't been an issue before since most states do not require sales tax be collected on freight charges. Ideally, whether or not to collect tax on freight charges should be an option in the Configure Taxes panel of Store Administration so that taxes on freight charges can be collected in states where required and not where it isn't.]]> Thu, 28 Jul 2016 09:52:37 +0000 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=983&PID=2944&title=sales-tax#2944 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=983&PID=2943&title=sales-tax#2943 Author: admin

Many of the details in the Store Details are from our previous versions of the Shopping Cart that we are pushing into release based on demand. So we will look at this and see about getting added to the agile sprint for you. In plain language that means we would try and get that functionality to work by next full week Monday (8/8/16) assuming it is easy enough to add. I am escalating the issue for you now.

Our store number is 289.

When processing an order in a state where we are required to collect sales tax, SalesCart is including the shipping charges in the tax calculation even though "Apply Tax to Shipping and Handling" is unchecked in Store Details. Is there some other setting I'm missing that might be causing this?]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2016 15:16:46 +0000 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=983&PID=2942&title=sales-tax#2942
