The states listed below have enacted laws that mandate purchases made from venders outside their state to collect sales tax. This practice has been upheld by the Supreme Court. The states that collect this mandated sales tax are listed below.
Florida
Georgia
Massachusetts
Maryland
North Carolina
South Carolina
Because of the new law and since we do not have a resale tax certificate for the above states the factory collects the sales tax before your furniture is shipped. The amount collected is between 4% – 5% depending on the listed states above. Unfortunately we do not know the exact amount until we process the order with the manufacturer. We will only collect the amount the manufacturer collects for the sales tax and notify you of this amount before we charge your credit card.
The Sales Tax responsibility for all the other states, except New York, is the responsibility of the buyer. On your yearly tax return there is a section for out of state purchases where you are suppose to list all purchases made outside your state and pay the sales tax due on those purchases.
