What is U.S. Sales Tax?
Sales tax is a levy imposed by a governing body on the sale of specific goods and services. This tax is typically collected from the final consumer, requiring online sellers to charge sales tax on finished products. Platforms like Etsy and Amazon automatically manage sales tax collection and remittance, while storefronts such as Shopify offer programs to handle remittance to individual states.
