This article will cover how to collect sales tax for states where you do not have a business presence.
By default, Shed Suite does not collect sales tax in states where you do not have a business presence, such as a shop or dealer. If you want to collect sales tax in these other states you will have to tell Shed Suite that you want to have a business presence in the state.
Here is how.
- Find an address, any address in the state you want to collect tax from. It could be a Walmart or Chic-Fil-A... any address.
- Go to your dealers list and hit the button "Add Dealer"
- Name the dealer "(State Abbreviation) Nexus Dealer"
- Use your random address, collected from step 1
- Hit the "Geocoded County" button then "Add Dealer"
- Then you can deactivate the dealer with the button in the top right corner and you are set!
Shed Suite will now calculate tax on orders going into this state.
