As your business becomes more mobile, you will begin to rely more on Internet sales. It is important to note that sales tax does apply to many Internet sales, requiring the need for Internet sales tax compution methods. However, in some cases, businesses are not required to collect these taxes. Here are two tips:
Physical Presence. If your business has a physical building that goods or services are sold from, then you will pay Internet sales taxes. If your business is entirely Internet-based, you will not be required to pay sales taxes.
State Exemptions. If you conduct business in a state that does not require sales tax, your Internet sales will not include tax. There are certain exemptions for other states as well, such as for food.
