If the company has a taxable "nexus" in your state -- some form of a presence that is sufficient to give the state tax jurisdiction over the seller -- then they can be required to collect sales tax from you.  If they do not have such a presence, then the state can't force them to collect the tax.  Theoretically you owe the tax whether it is collected by the seller or not.  I say theoretically, because I don't think any of the states presently enforce this on ordinary consumers.

Usually when you purchase something on-line, you have to areas to fill out at the check out. One is the billing address and the other is the shipping address. Some sites even ask if the item purchased is a gift when the shipping address is different than the billing address.

An item costs 10 dollars plus 10 percent tax (tax $1).\n\nGross price 10 dollars.  Net price $11.      OK.

Probably because they aren't on the stores network.  I've run into that with my debit card IF I try to use it as a debit card, if I use it as credit it seems to work everywhere.

$77 is expensive.  Shop around and look for the best price and don't trust internet sites, you don't know who they could be.  Go to an authorized or street creded store.

I am so glad you asked this question.  I found this site when i was searching on Google for the Pay by phone thing.  I had the same problem and once i read a couple responses i realized that it was because i paid my "store" credit card online.

some are and some are not.  when you get to one it should indicate if you need a subscription or to make a payment. if you can access a website...ex. yahoo, then it's free and you are all set.\n\ngood luck!

Some times you have to download the special software to open these things make sure your read the terms and conditions of the software some are free some send you a bill .If you are at a cafe net they might block this so they dont get charged for the added software .

Yes, I have purchased many items, over the internet..I pay with a credit card number..If you are going to do that, make sure that it is a secure website..To verify that it is secure, after the http, at the beginning of the web address, make sure that there is an "s" after http..It will look like this https, which means it is a secure website..Also at the bottom of the page, will be a picture of a paddlock, that means the page is secure, and you can put your credit card number in..I have purchased many items over the web, and I never had any problems..

a lot of ebay sellers will overcharge on shipping to keep the price of thier item lower. also, ebay doesn't charge fees on shipping like they do on the selling price of the item, and this way the seller loses less money.

Umm, I don't think that Pixel understood the question.  The sales tax goes to the state government and local government, which don't pay for the war in iraq.\n\nIt's probably because stores want to appear as if they are charging a lower price for the good.

First, it's "..overcharged THEIR customers. Will THERE be a refund?"\n\nThere's no indication that there will be any refunds forthcoming.

They are all not very good.  Best option go to a site like bizrate.com and compare services and prices...

Depends what the item is.  In many states they have Personal Property Taxes.  They also have luxury taxes.  All of these might be additional taxes you will incur.

Hello I have run my own small business in the past so I can sympathise with you. My guess is the one thing your NOT looking closely enough at is your competitors? do you know who your competitors are? where are they? who is taking your previous customers away from you? what are your competitors doing that your NOT? Ask yourself what you can do inorder to match or atleast challenge your compeitors?\n\n**Do you know what your competitors are charging for a standard item you, yourselves might sell :- for example take something simple like a gold ring or chain?\n\n**Dont be shy go into your competitors shops/premises have a good look around see how they operate, see what they offer that you dont?\n\n**Do you have an online shop/store. If you dont then you need a good kick because you cannot afford NOT to offer online sales. Even if its only a web presence, you must offer an online sales channel it could make all the difference to your cash flow. Try it you wont know until you do it.\n\nBest Regards to you.

I have seen some businesses charge up to 10% for some late fees, but most have been around 5%  I think the average may depend on what the charge is for, how much business you do with this customer, and just how late they are!!  Our business does not charge late fees, but if they are too long in paying, their next order will have added fees.

Nope, not on income taxes.  If you purchase stuff from the PX or the Commisary then that is sales tax free.  But Income taxes are normal as if you were anyother job.  If you could try to register in TX or WY cause they have no state income taxes but thats the only way around that!
