Collecting sales tax for shipping costs?

lbcpublishing — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 15:23:54 GMT

Hi! I am shipping online orders in a state that requires me to collect sales tax on shipping to orders in that state, but I can't find a way to make Square do that. In the part of my dashboard where I can configure sales tax, it lets me apply sales taxes to delivery fees, but not shipping fees. How can I make Square collect taxes on my shipping fees?

Thanks! I saw that, but I don't have a checkbox for collecting taxes on shipping -- I only have a checkbox for delivery...

Hi @Jarnold0332,

I'm sorry to hear trouble has brought you to the Seller Community!

Are you seeing the tax option in your settings? Or are any of the options missing for you?

Could someone please change the one line of code to sum item total and shipping total to calculate sales tax properly. We eat the sales tax we need to pay every month because even though we have automatic sales tax calculation, the charge sales tax on shipping checked your website does not tax shipping. Basically your platform is causing every merchant to defraud their local government. Fix it!
