@pf9000 I believe some states assess the sales tax on the item price, and some assess it on the item plus shipping price. If so, that's probably, what, maybe 7% sales tax in this case? Which state is involved here?
Thank you for the correction. Yes, I knew that, must have had some slight stroke or something.
In all fairness to you, I didn't see where the OP disclosed until later in the thread that their example was for a buyer and not their own purchase in the state of California.

·1 year agoTax is likely charged on the shipping and price of the item.
Looks to be about 6.5% ish
What state/local area was it?

·1 year agoDid you know that some states, perhaps yours, require that the state sales tax be collected on the SHIPPING COST as well as the item price?
itsjustasprain
·1 year agoThat would be the state sales tax of the buyer's location - yes. Some states include shipping - some do not - a few have no sales tax at all.
