There are currently 41,702 individual ZIP codes in the United States. Each of which is used for tracking mail and gathering geographical statistics. In an ideal world we could use ZIP codes to organize tax rates. However, due to some states authorizing cities, counties or their local districts to set their own tax rates, there are multiple tax rates in one ZIP code! What a nightmare. We’ve condensed our file to cover all 50 US states.
Yes. The U.S. Supreme Court has changed the game and ruled that states can now decide to impose a sales tax. Not all of them have ruled, but most have.
The short answer is that a state will assume that it has a duty to collect sales tax if your business has a connection to the sales tax in that state. There are several different scenarios where non-US sellers can have a US connection.
If you live and do business in the US but are not a US citizen – non-US citizens doing business in the US are still considered subject to sales tax and must comply with sales tax laws as if they were US citizens.
Your company’s connection to the state is called a nexus.
Nexus determines whether your company can be liable for state sales tax. You are not required to pay taxes in states where you do not have a nexus. A lot of small businesses only have a nexus within their state. Therefore no conversion is needed. However, when business crosses state lines, an automated tax service is needed.
We made our CSV simple to remove the WooCommerce sales tax rates you don’t need, which let’s WooCommerce handle the taxes for you: charge in your state, charge no tax in every other state.
You will have to register to pay taxes in every state where your business has a nexus. This includes registering in the state where the company is located, indicating that you attend for business, states where you have fulfillment services, remote employees, and affiliate marketing programs, etc.
Registration gives your company an official sales tax license. All states require businesses selling taxable items in their state to register at least 1-2 weeks before the sale.
All WooCommerce automated tax plugins require a paid subscription to get the tax rates. Because it is a recurring charge monthly, it stacks up in your business expenses. That’s why we provide inexpensive, one and done solutions.
Determining the correct tax to apply to your invoices means accounting for the tax that applies to the products listed in your product catalog: some types of products are taxed differently in the US (for example, food products are tax exempt in California).
Tax levels that apply to a particular address (buyer): state, county, city, local and special district tax. The key is to use the customer’s full address, not just the zipcode, to keep informed of the tax you should charge.
The tax that applies on the final sale of a product or service in the US is called sales tax. Unlike VAT or GST, sales tax is not a flat rate that applies to your invoices worldwide; it varies by state and product, not to mention the ten thousand plus tax jurisdictions in the US to which you may be required to remit the tax.
Sales tax depends on three main factors: your nexus, the products or services in your product catalog, and when you are exempt from tax.
