<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 24793759, member: 77639&quot;]For tangible goods, like coins, the delivery address rather than the billing address is used to calculate sales tax.&nbsp; Nevada has no income tax but does have sales tax similar to Calif.&nbsp; Only 5 states charge no sales tax.&nbsp; The closest to me is Oregon.&nbsp; Not sure double shipping, double insurance, service charge and delay would make a remailing service worthwhile for less expensive coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Link below has good discussion of sales tax issues for out-of-state purchases.</p><p><br /></p><p>If ever there was an issue that needs simplification through Federal legislation, this is one.&nbsp; A uniform sales tax paid to the IRS by merchants at no more than quarterly intervals with the IRS then distributing lump sums to individual states would be one approach.&nbsp; The distribution to a state would be based on the sales to that state and the average sales tax rate in the state. The average rate for a state would be negotiated between the state and IRS.&nbsp; A merchant would have to deal with only two entities for sales tax: their state of residence and the IRS.&nbsp; At tax time, the merchant sends the IRS a list of states to which taxable goods were shipped and the total value shipped to each state.&nbsp; But only pays one tax based on the total value shipped and the uniform tax specified by IRS.&nbsp; The sales tax division of IRS would be separate from the income tax division, and they could not share info except with a court order.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.avalara.com/blog/en/north-america/2023/06/is-sales-tax-based-on-shipping-address.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.avalara.com/blog/en/north-america/2023/06/is-sales-tax-based-on-shipping-address.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.avalara.com/blog/en/north-america/2023/06/is-sales-tax-based-on-shipping-address.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
