Sales Tax on Drop Shipments Webinar
Overview
Drop shipping transactions are increasingly commonplace in today's e-commerce world. However, they present unique sales tax compliance complexities for all parties involved. If a shipper is registered for tax purposes in the end-user customer's state, they must collect tax, unless it has the seller's resale certificate.
