Tax
Simple question: the shirt I purchased from shoplc this morning is NOT taxable in the state where I reside, nor are the shipping charges associated with said shirt; so why was $.40 tax included on my invoice? What am I missing? Is it some sort of exit tax for TX?

Re: Tax
Hi! HowRevolutinary
I think Harlequin may be "right"...some where in the news?...awhile ago?
The government "caught up " with companies that weren't charging tax
I.e. the on- line businesses
and "changed the rules"
I'm surprised, too, on things you wouldn't think to be taxed.
And, that's how it goes!

That may be so about your state.
But Texas has a 6.25% Sales/use tax...
It's as if you went into a store there and
Bought that shirt
...you'd be charged sales tax.
Think that's why!!
