Do you charge/collect sales tax on your sales? I got my resellers certificate have not bought anything for reselling as of yet, but I was wondering if anyone charges and or collects sales tax?

Wow , that is good, I am so used to everything having some type of tax that i have not thought of item not having tax except for food now i am thinking about it. That would classify as food. My daughter had to a report on on India fashion just not too long ago. That was difficult since we have real magazines or information that can be cut out.

i do some selling on ebay and when someone buys from my province (i am in canada), i do actually charge sales tax but that doesnt happen too often. more often than not, the people i sell to are in the US.

I live in Florida and sell on eBay. We don't have a state sales charge in Florida so I do not charge. however, I heard people are saying soon there will be sales charge on all internet sales. Amazon is fighting this.

I've never had an online transaction that was in the same state that I live in, so I've never had to charge sales tax on my transactions. However, if I understand it correctly, if I was to sell something to someone in the same state that I live in, then I would have to charge sales tax on the item. Additionally, I have a small business selling Tupperware and whenever I make a transaction with that, I do have to pay sales tax on the item that I've sold. It does't matter if my customer lives here in Kentucky or if they live in another state, if I manually enter the order I have to charge them 6% sales tax.
