  • A lot has changed with Shopify's sales tax dashboard since we first made a Shopify Sales Tax Setup Guide video 3 years ago. It's become much more comprehensive and easy to use.
    In this video, Kexin walks through the updated UI of Shopify and shows how to set up the sales tax settings for your store. She covers:
    👉 Managing tax collection
    👉 Tax rates & exemptions
    👉 Reporting
    👉 The importance of categorizing products
    👉 Setting up locations correctly
    Shopify's new tax settings section is so much more useful now!

    Great video! I do have a few questions. First question does this new shopify sales tax act as a sales tax engine and should I download an app like TaxRex for sales tax filings? Second question I just started a Print on Demand Clothing brand and selling through Shopify I am based out of CA, am I only responsible to report taxes in CA since I'm an online store or do I have to get a sellers permit for every state that I sell too? Lastly, since I use a Print on Demand platform Printify to make my products they ship out from different locations that I won't know the addresses too I am still responsible to report those locations when I am using their services?

    • @LedgerGurus
      @LedgerGurus  3 місяці тому +1

      1) At this point, you still have to use a separate engine for sales tax filings.
      2) You only need to collect and remit sales tax in states where you have economic or physical nexus. You can learn more by watching our free sales tax masterclass: ledgergurus.thinkific.com/courses/the-uncomplicated-truth-about-sales-tax?UA-cam&
      3) To be safe, you can get a list of all those locations and add them to your Shopify settings.

Some of our products are supplied from EU, while some are supplied from US. How do we set up the tax? Also, since we are new store, our physical presence is in CA. If customers purchased from other states, do we have to pre-collect the sales tax on Shopify and refund tax by end of tax season if we don't hit the economic nexus in other states?

    Hey so I’ve noticed that even cities and counties have different tax rate percentage in the same state. So I’m wondering how would I calculate a bunch of orders here in Florida when it’s time to remit since the rates are all different? Or does Shopify separate and calculate each taxes per order since the rates are different per city? Also when do you recommend remitting sales tax monthly or quarterly?

    • @LedgerGurus
      @LedgerGurus  2 місяці тому

      When you register for a permit, the state will tell you how often to remit. And you can see the amount of sales tax calculated for each order on your sales report. Here's how to read it: ledgergurus.com/shopify-sales-tax-report-how-to-find-understand-it/?UA-cam&

    hello
    I set up a limited liability company in Wyoming with a registered agent because I'm not a US resident and I opened a Shopify store to sell clothes, print on demand by Printful. Do I need to register for Wyoming sales tax or register when I reach the economic threshold?
    I have a WordPress store to sell commission marketing. Are there sales taxes or any kind of taxes on them?
    Is there a video of how to submit sales tax returns?

      We have a client with this same situation. Yes, you'll would need to register in WY because that is where your "business is located" (physical nexus). You'll need to collect sales tax in WY after being registered.
      When you talk about commission marketing, it doesn't sound like tangible personal property, so I'm guessing its not taxable. If it is tangible personal property, it would be taxable.

      Locations - you need to put in the physical address where your main office is. warehouse, headquarters, etc.
      Address of inventory - you don't have inventory if you are drop shipping, so keep it blank. If you are unable to keep it blank, we would suggest you call Shopify for more help.

    • @LedgerGurus
      @LedgerGurus  3 місяці тому

      You'll probably have the service set up as a "product," most likely. You'll need to create a tax override (or exemption) for that product/service, and set it to be exempt from sales tax by unchecking "charge taxes on this product." This can be used for other nontaxable products, as well.

Should I change the location for each product to specify where it’s being shipped. I would think I need to do that for tax reporting. What do you think?

    • @LedgerGurus
      @LedgerGurus  Рік тому

      The general rule of thumb is that nexus is reached by either transaction count or sales amounts in a rolling year. You shouldn’t be collecting sales tax until you're registered. Cancelled orders will offset the original orders. And refunds can be taken in the current month but returns should be amended for prior periods. You've got some pretty detailed questions.

      @@doyoungahn2802 The reason I suggested you watch the video was to explain the concept of nexus. You don't have to worry about collecting and remitting sales tax until after you have nexus in a state. Also, it is ILLEGAL to collect sales tax unless you have registered for a sales tax permit with the state. So, no. Do not add all the states yet. Don't add any states except the one you're in, if you're in the US. You already have nexus there since you have a physical presence there.
