Their is an option in the Control Panel under "Pros" to add tax to shipping. How many select this option? I'm in PA if that makes a difference.

Thanks

    Yeah, looks like they may even be stepping over some interstate boundaries and creating some double-taxation. eek7.gif This stuff keeps getting worse...

    Thanks guys. I wasn't sure about it since I'm not the one doing the shipping. All orders are shipped from Bay Photo

    And this opens up a whole other can of worms. In a lot of states, Smugmug would be considered the company since they receive the payment and handle the order, not you. In this case, you wouldn't need to remit taxes at all, SM would.

    In the next few years, this will all get sorted out. Until then, a lot of people will and won't be paying what is or isn't due. Sound confusing? You betcha!

    Texas also requires sales tax not only on the products, but also shipping. I don't know if I'm just not looking in the right place, but is there a place that shows how much smugmug charged the client for shipping. I need the total sale price of products + shipping before the tax is added to report on my quarterly sales taxes. I have to break it down to 4 different tax jurisdictions (0.01125 0.0025 0.005 0.0625) that all have to equal the total tax rate of 8.125%.deal.gif

    All i see is:
    Total Items Sold: 3
    Your Price: $xx.xx
    Base Price: - $xx.xx
    Difference: $xx.xx
    Coupon: $0.00
    Gross Profit: $xx.xx
    Your Profit (est.): $xx.xx
    Sales Tax: $xx.xx
