How Sales Tax Is Calculated
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 amount of tax charged on your order will depend upon many factors including the identity of the seller, type of item purchased, and destination of the shipment. 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.
State Reporting and Use Tax
We do not collect sales or use taxes in all states. For states imposing sales or use taxes, your purchase is subject to use tax unless it is specifically exempt from taxation. Your purchase is not exempt merely because it is made over the Internet or by other remote means. Many states require purchasers to file a sales/use tax return at the end of the year reporting all of the taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay tax on those purchases. Details of how to file these returns may be found at the websites of your respective taxing authorities.
Colorado:
Colorado HB 1193, enacted in February 2010, required online retailers to provide a detailed purchase report to customers
with more than $500 of annual Colorado purchases by January 31st and to provide a summary purchase report with the total
amount of each customer's annual Colorado purchases to the Colorado Department of Revenue by March 31st. This law is currently
the subject of a legal challenge brought by the Direct Marketing Association and others. In the meantime, the U.S. District Court
has suspended enactment of the law while the legal challenge proceeds.

a consumer use tax return [Form 21-1]. The referenced forms and corresponding instructions are available on the Oklahoma Tax

based on Oklahoma law (HB 2359) enacted in June 2010.

For South Dakota purchasers, the tax may be reported and paid on the South Dakota use tax form. The use tax form and
corresponding instructions are available on the South Dakota Department of Revenue website. We are required to provide the

For Vermont purchasers, the tax may be reported and paid on the Vermont use tax form. The use tax form and corresponding
