Charge US sales tax where you're registered

This is for businesses in the US. Your store charges a state’s sales tax, worked out at the delivery address, only in the states where you add a registration. Tuppence counts your sales into each state, but whether you need to register is your decision, with your accountant.

Who can do this: You need to be an owner, admin or manager to do this.

  1. Choose Store settings, then the Tax tab.
  2. Choose Add a registration.
  3. Choose the State and, if you want it on your documents, enter the Registration or permit number (optional).
  4. Choose the button that adds it, such as Add New York.

Your store charges that state’s sales tax on orders delivered there from then on. A registration can’t be removed once added, so add only the states where you hold a permit.

Where you sell lists each state you deliver to, with what you’ve sold there over that state’s period and its threshold:

Label Means
Below Under 80% of the state’s threshold
Near the threshold From 80%. You get one notice for the period
Past the threshold At or over the threshold
Registered You’ve added a registration for the state. No notices are sent

Sales are counted every night. In test mode the figures come from your test orders and say Test data.
