Due to the Supreme Court Wayfair case ruling, we are now legally required to collect and remit sales tax to any state that requests it. If our website is adding taxes to an order you are creating, your state has requested we collect and remit the applicable taxes.
We are aware there are some small online retailers who don't sell enough to customers in certain states to be held legally responsible for collecting the sales tax from their customers in that state. Only retailers who reach a certain level of sales in a state are held responsible. However, we are not one of those small retailers. We are blessed to have many wonderful customers in all 48 lower states. The amount of business these prized customers do with us propels us into the category of online businesses that are required by law to collect the sales tax at the time the order is placed. We then turn around and send those collected taxes to all of the applicable taxing authorities, all the way up to the state level.
