Nope, It's going to depend on product line and the shipping address. Being an online retailer, Amazon.com does not have to charge tax on some orders in some instances. Since there are physical sales presences in some states, people that live in KY, WA, KS and ND will pay a tax on every item sold directly by Amazon.com LLC.

Otherwise, it’s going to depend on what you're buying, who’s selling it and where it’s shipping to. As far as how it’s calculated when it ships, according to the "Help" pages; "If an item is subject to sales tax in the state to which the order is shipped, tax is generally calculated on the total selling price of each individual item. In accordance with state tax laws, the total selling price of an item will generally include item-level shipping and handling charges, item-level discounts, gift-wrap charges, and an allocation of order-level shipping and handling charges and order-level discounts."

Also, "...will generally be the combined state and local rate for the address where your order was shipped. " Generally, items that you buy coming from most of the bigger Merchants on their site (Circuit City, J & R Music and Computer World, Target, etc...) will be taxed as they will have some kind of physical store in most states. You’ll be able to see an estimated tax on the Order Confirmation page (it’s the last page, after you’ve entered all your information and you get the orange "Place Your Order" button).

It’s only an estimate because Amazon.com doesn’t charge until they ship the items. Just in case something changes in between when the order’s placed and when it ships, they only offer tax estimates Hopefully this is what you’re looking for. Have a good one!

It depends if you are buying from amazon or one of the partners see the additional details tems sold by Amazon.com LLC, or its subsidiaries, and shipped to destinations in the states of Kansas, Kentucky, North Dakota, or Washington are subject to tax. In order to offer you the widest selection and the most convenient shopping experience, Amazon.com has teamed with many other merchants. Your order may contain items from one or more of these online merchants.

Each of these online merchants may have different sales tax collection obligations, depending upon their business policies and the location of their operations. Amazon.com calculates sales taxes on the merchants' behalf in accordance with their instructions. These instructions vary depending on the tax laws in each state.

The following is a partial list of merchants selling items at Amazon.com which may be included in your order, and the states in which they charge sales tax. * Amazon.com LLC: KS, KY, ND and WA * Amazon Digital Services, Inc. : ND and WA * Borders teamed with Amazon.Com, Inc.

: KS, KY, ND and WA (Note: items purchased for in-store pickup at Borders stores are sold by Borders, Inc. , and may be subject to tax in most states.) * eHobbies: CA and KY * Magazine Express, Inc. : AL and WA * Synapse Services, Inc.

: WA only * Target.Com: All states other than AK, HI, and VT To identify whether an item ordered from any other seller has been taxed, visit the relevant order summary in Your Account and click the "See tax and seller information" link. If you have already received your order, you can also find the identity of the seller printed under the name of each item on your packing slip. Items identified as "taxed" have been subjected to sales tax.

All other items have not been taxed, either because the seller is not required to collect the tax or the item is not subject to tax. See below for more information regarding sales tax on items sold by our online merchants. If an item is subject to sales tax in the state to which the order is shipped, tax is generally calculated on the total selling price of each individual item.In accordance with state tax laws, the total selling price of an item will generally include item-level shipping and handling charges, item-level discounts, gift-wrap charges, and an allocation of order-level shipping and handling charges and order-level discounts.

The tax rate applied to your order will generally be the combined state and local rate for the address where your order was shipped. Therefore, the sales tax rate applied to your order may be different for an order shipped to your home address than it is for an order for the very same items shipped to your work address. Amazon.com obtains sales tax rates from a leading tax rate service provider.

Note that many factors can change between the time you place an order and the time of credit card charge authorization, which could affect the calculation of sales taxes. The amount appearing on your order as Estimated Tax may differ from the sales taxes ultimately charged. For example, tax law changes may occur between order placement and credit card charge authorization that could result in an increase or decrease in taxes charged.

We also offer a number of flexible shipping options that could change the calculation of sales tax. Thus, we cannot know with certainty how allocations of shipping charges and promotional discounts will be made to individual items when we quote estimated taxes at the time your order is placed. For sales tax purposes, electronically delivered products (e-books, e-documents, and electronically delivered software) are considered to be shipped to your credit card billing Amazon.

Typically, you have to pay taxes if you are buying from the same state as the seller is selling from. I don't know if Amazon charges any taxes. I buy from California and I don't pay for taxes.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
