ebay Tax

[KD35Russ0]

Just purchased a card from PA. Never had tax applied before and found this set of FAQ's: https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/taxes-import-charges?id=4121

PA tax shouldn't kick in until July, but I'm getting hit with it now. Can anyone shed some light?

I believe Trump & congress Government voted OK to force online retailer to charge TAX for New Yorker starting June 1.

ahhh crap!

[ThoseBackPages]

going to have to snipe accordingly.

I just had to pay sales tax to add money to my COMC account. New one for me there, but I may have missed that memo.

[chezball]

ahhh crap!

Not seeing NY on the list.

its true, i just tried it out

That's why I asked. NY isn't on the list. Seller for me was from PA, but that doesn't go into effect until July 1. I'm confused.

[KD35Russ0]

Weird (ANNOYING) thing is that on best offer for me, I couldn't see the tax until my offer was accepted. So now I look like an a** asking the seller about it

Here is a NY Post article on it about going into effect 6/1.

Now, does the Tax % depend on WHERE in NY you live?

Guess I won't be buying much on ebay anymore. Card shows and Blowout it is

It will just save you from having to file and pay at the end of the year.

How? Maybe for sellers. How does that apply to buyers?

Thread 1,001 on this subject...

You should have been paying Use Tax all along (you weren't - 99% of people don't)

But this isn't new

eBay closed the loophole we've all been exploiting.

[chezball]

No, all of NY. I just checked and it is in effect. I can't comment further.

no, i understand that, but unless im wrong, its not the same % in all areas of the state

[wharfrat7624]

Yes you pay tax in the state you live in, not where you purchased the card.

Just a matter of time before Paypal starts having to collect it. Or worse make the sellers have to collect it and remit it. Many states are already sending agents to flea markets and other trade shows to ensure the collection is being done.

[shrevecity]

That is almost anywhere I can go 2 miles from home in different county and pay a different rate. New York may be allowing the local jurisdictions to stick their hands out but with most states so far its just the base state rate not the local rates.

[shrevecity]

Because buyers have technically be responsible for paying taxes on out of state items since forever, but now the loophole is being closed.

[Bader]

PA seller is charging you 6% state sales tax and can now because they have a business with tax ID in the state and have to remit and pay the tax to the state

The July 1st tax that goes into effect is for ALL sellers regardless if they have a tax ID or not

Sucks because I see so much from SCC (Steel City) but never buy because of the mandatory sales tax

I live in New Jersey and this just started and I hate it! eBay is just about dead to me .

New Jersey Use Tax is not new

Just an FYI

[ThoseBackPages]

have to snipe accordingly now.

this HAS to lead to lower sales overall in the card department

[ThoseBackPages]

wait, how are they allowed to tax S&H?

On eBay for me it is . I never paid tax on any card until the past month.

[shrevecity]

Different states have different laws on that matter. Just like some states tax groceries and others don't. So that is up to the wording of the law.

Most states including NJ have always required buyers to pay sales tax on items purchased out of state. Thing is there was never a solid method to enforce that but as we become more into internet shopping more and more states are closing all the little loopholes.

man, that is not good

i won something for 99 cents, shipping is 8.50 (rightfully so, as its a factory set) and "Tax" is 0.82

So it’s an 8.6% tax including shipping charges? Bought something yesterday and saw a tax, didn’t pay too much attention to it. Glad I’m leaving NY next month, may have to wait on any large purchases.

Yeppers! congrats on the move!

I predict more frequent eBay coupons in the coming months to offset the ‘new’ tax...

[shrevecity]

Maybe maybe not. Many states require the tax to be applied to the amount before the coupon is applied. Here if you use a coupon say its 99 cents and you have 1.00 off making it free you still pay about 10 cents due to the tax.. In that case even with a 10% off coupon you may have to pay slightly more due to the taxes. It will reduce it, but not a total off set.

You just chose to never report the tax... that you were supposed to report.

eBay closed your loophole

Now to be fair you are in the 99% of people that don't file their return appropriately

[3AND4]

I think we need clarification on the tax being added to S&H Charges.

Do catalogs charge tax on the s&h charges?

You pay the tax on the item. I am not sure on delivery.

If you get groceries delivered do you pay tax on the delivery charge?

[shrevecity]

it all depends on the state you are in as to how what part is taxable.

[3AND4]

Is ebay going to run into problems if they are collecting tax on items or s&h charges that are not taxable?

Example in Penn Coins are not subject to sales tax. NJ most Clothing & food is not taxable. etc etc

Then on non taxable items is the s&H going to be taxed for a non taxable item?

this could be a slippery slope.

It maybe a blanket tax on internet purchases. If it does not specify what is and is not taxable then it would likely be a blanket tax basically taxing everything.
