A Texas 3PL picks, packs, and ships clients' products. Fulfillment isn't a taxable service in Texas. The 3PL buys packaging (boxes, mailers, poly bags, void fill) and pays sales tax to its suppliers. It then bills clients for that packaging as a separately stated line with a markup, and charges sales tax on it. Same materials taxed twice. My read is that the 3PL is the consumer under Tax Code…
Hi all, I have a question as a new online retailer in Texas. When filing the quarterly Sales and Use Tax, there are the three numbers I have to input in the comptroller's online form. Total Texas Sales - As I understand it, this is basically my total gross sales for all orders from my store since I am registered in Texas. Seems straight forward.

Michigan. I went to the fair and got a candy bag. I realized that : I was paying sales tax on food. This one may be legal as its at a vendor not grocery store? My sales tax was way higher than 6 percent. They gave me my reciept reluctantly but told me they don't set the prices and can't help me with refunds or adjustments. Upon looking at it, i was charged both 6% and 8.5% in sales tax. Is this…
I know I can check with each state's department, but I'm pretty sure they both will say that THEY should get the use tax. I have a client who bought a new custom desk for her office without sales tax, as she has a certificate with that specific vendor for resale as well. So she owes use tax. She is in the process of moving. The desk was delivered to her office in one state, but was immediately…

In my dream world, I would be able to set up, file, and pay sales tax through them with one account to multiple states, but I don't think that's what they do? If you are or have…

We run an EU-based Shopify store selling physical products mainly to U.S./Canada customers, and we’re getting close to U.S. economic nexus thresholds. I understand Shopify can help track/calculate tax, but I don’t want to manually deal with 50 states, registrations, filings, zero returns, remittance, notices, etc. For other EU/non-U.S. founders who scaled into North America: Which sales tax…
Working with a potential customer right now who is concerned about the prospect of switching tax calculation engine on Shopify. I know a ton of brands have switched over to Shopify Tax. Anyone have this experience? Any learnings? Pitfalls? What do they need to know? Disclaimer - I work for a provider that does tax filings and integrates with Shopify Tax. Not here to shill our platform, just want…
