Does The Music Emporium charge sales tax?
The short answer: sometimes.
While online purchases used to be tax-free, a 2018 Supreme Court ruling (South Dakota vs. Wayfair, Inc.) gave states the authority to require out-of-state sellers to collect and remit sales tax. That means whether or not we charge sales tax depends on each state’s “nexus” threshold.
- If you see sales tax at checkout, it means we meet your state’s threshold and are required to collect it.
- If you don’t, it means we don’t.
It’s that straightforward.
