Orders Subject to Sales Tax
The amount of tax charged depends upon many factors, including the identity of the seller, the type of item purchased, and the destination of the shipment.
Items sold by InkjetSuperstore.com and shipped to destinations in the states of California and New York are subject to tax.
No sales tax is charged when purchasing gift certificates; however, purchases paid for with gift certificates may be subject to tax.
Items Shipped to New York State
Effective January 1, 2010, InkjetSuperstore.com will begin collecting sales tax on items shipped to destinations within the State of New York as New York has enacted a new law requiring out-of-state sellers to collect and remit sales tax based on advertising. We must still begin collecting New York sales tax beginning on that date.
The tax rate applied to your order will generally be the combined state and local rate for the address where your order was shipped. Therefore, the sales tax rate applied to your order may be different for an order shipped to your home address than it is for an order for the very same items shipped to your work address. We obtains sales tax rates from a leading tax rate service provider.
Note that many factors can change between the time you place an order and the time of credit card charge authorization, which could affect the calculation of sales taxes. The amount appearing on your order as Estimated Tax may differ from the sales taxes ultimately charged.
For example, tax law changes may occur between order placement and credit card charge authorization that could result in an increase or decrease in taxes charged. We also offer a number of flexible shipping options that could change the calculation of sales tax. Thus, we cannot know with certainty how allocations of shipping charges and promotional discounts will be made to individual items when we quote estimated taxes at the time your order is placed.
