There are two specific mechanisms which permit non-payment of sales tax by a business: exemption and resale.
If a business is a non-profit, charity, or religiously-affiliated concern, it may qualify for sales tax exemption status. The states vary in their statutes regarding exemption qualifications.
Many purchases demand the imposition of business to business sales tax. The only items subject to resale status are those which become components of the product being resold. For example, if a clock manufacturer purchases paper on which to print in-house created brochures about its clocks, that paper is taxable. But the same paper purchased by a printer to manufacture brochures which it sells to its customer is not taxable, by virtue of its resale status.

In general, if you are drop shipping to a customer in a different state, you typically do not need to charge California sales tax, as the transaction takes place outside of California. However, you must comply with the sales tax laws of the state where the customer is located. If you have a sales tax nexus in that state, you may be required to collect and remit sales tax based on their regulations. It's advisable to consult with a tax professional for specific guidance based on your situation.
Answer 1Sales taxes are levied under the laws of the state where the sale occurs. The state requires the seller to charge the tax, and as the sale occurs at the sellers location, the tax is due regardless of where the buyer resides.Depending on the state, and its laws, sales taxes are waived on a sale of an item which will be resold by the buyer, IF the buyer has a sales tax permit and will be collecting and paying sales tax proceeds to a state taxing authority.This is my experience. I have lived in Oregon the majority of my life, with some time in Alaska, Washington, Texas, Illinois, and Virginia. The ONLY state I have ever had sales tax waived was in stores in Washington. If you are buying a non-consumable product, like a TV, CD, clothing, or such, you can show your Oregon ID without paying tax. If you eat there (restaurant) or have a service done, you pay tax, whether you live there or not. When I lived in other states, like Alaska and Illinois, I let it be known I was from out of state, but I always had to pay sales tax. So given this, if you are in a store outside Oregon, not counting the Washington exception, you will more than likely pay sales tax. It never hurts ask for a waiver, but they don't have to.
Generally, items purchased for resale are not subject to sales tax, as long as the buyer provides a valid resale certificate to the seller. This certificate indicates that the buyer intends to resell the items instead of using them for personal consumption. However, tax laws can vary by state, so it's essential to check local regulations to ensure compliance. Always keep accurate records to support any tax-exempt purchases.
The combined sales tax rate for Visalia, CA is 8.25%. This is the total of state, county and city sales tax rates.
If you charge tax on the products/services you sell, the customer pays the sales tax and the business passes the tax onto the state/municipality. If the business buys supplies for use in the business (and not for resale) you will pay sales tax and the entire cost of the supplies will be deductible to the business. If you buy the same supplies from out of state and do not pay Nebraska sales tax, you should pay Nebraska use tax and that amount is also deductible to the business. If the business buys supplies that go into making a product for resale, you should not pay sales tax on the purchase of those supplies.
