Sales Tax FAQ
Bulk Seed Store charges sales tax on orders shipping to a number of states where we are required by law to collect state tax. The Supreme Court ruling (South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., Overstock.com, Inc., and Newegg, Inc.) changed the state sales tax requirements for all companies like ours that sell remotely through websites. To comply, Bulk Seed Store must collect and remit sales tax in accordance with state and local tax laws. If you are a long-time customer, you may have noticed that we added sales tax to the website; again, this is a legal requirement.
How is sales tax calculated?
The amount of sales tax charged depends on products purchased, the shipping destination of the order, and the location from which orders are shipped. The estimated sales tax may differ from the final amount charged for your order.
