If you're required to charge sales tax, you can set up a tax table and apply it to your listings. We'll then add the tax to the buyer's total at checkout. You're responsible for paying the sales tax to the appropriate authority.
Contact a tax professional to determine whether you need to charge sales tax on your Spandooly sales, or if you have questions about any other taxes. We can't provide tax advice or guarantee that our sales tax features meet all tax requirements.
You can specify a sales tax rate for each US state in which you're required to charge sales tax. You can also charge tax on shipping and handling, if it's required by law.
Buyers see your tax rates on the listing page. Once they confirm their shipping address at checkout, we automatically calculate the sales tax amount and add it to their order total.
Here's how to set up your tax table:
Important things to keep in mind when setting up a tax table :
Once you've created your tax table, you need to specify in your listing that you are charging sales tax. Here's how:
Prior to the effective date, you should continue to collect and remit tax in these states if required. Additional states will be added to this list at a later date.
Once Spandooly starts to collect tax in the above states, no action is required on your part, and there will be no charges or fees for Spandooly automatically calculating, collecting and remitting sales tax.
When a buyer purchases an item on Spandooly, and the ship to address is one of the above states, Spandooly will calculate and add the applicable sales tax at checkout. The buyer will pay both the cost of the item along with the sales tax. Spandooly will collect and remit the tax.
Sellers are not able to opt out of selling items into the states listed above or opt out of Spandooly automatically collecting sales tax.
When you sell to buyers outside the Germany, import fees (including taxes and customs charges) will apply for the country you're sending the item to.
The fees are usually based on the item's price, shipping weight, dimensions, and country of origin, plus any taxes, duties, and fees from the country you're sending the item to.
Buyers are responsible for paying import fees, usually as part of clearing their parcel through customs or when they receive their item. If you offer international shipping, you can't include these costs in the item's purchase and shipping price. Make sure to let international buyers know this in your listings.
Some countries and jurisdictions require Spandooly to collect import tax from the buyer when they pay for their order. You'll find more details in our Tax policy.
