r/SalesTax

I know I can check with each state's department, but I'm pretty sure they both will say that THEY should get the use tax.

I have a client who bought a new custom desk for her office without sales tax, as she has a certificate with that specific vendor for resale as well. So she owes use tax.

She is in the process of moving. The desk was delivered to her office in one state, but was immediately loaded onto a moving truck to be moved to her new home state. She ordered it before the move, and timed delivery for her move. She took possession while still technically residing in the first state, however briefly.

The invoice doesn't show a delivery or billing address, it reads like client pick-up.

I can't decide if state one or state two should get the use tax.

TL;DR: CA is gonna tax digital products starting January.

I've been reading about how selling on Amazon and Flipkart works in India and the fee structure seems insane when you add everything up.
Commission 5-20%
Shipping charges
FBA/warehouse fees
TCS 1%
TDS 0.1% Return
shipping
GST filing costs
CA fees

For someone doing say ₹5-10L/month in sales — what's the actual take-home after ALL deductions and compliance costs? Is it actually profitable at that scale or do you need ₹50L+ monthly before it makes real sense? Genuinely curious because from outside it looks like a great business but the cost structure seems brutal.

We run an EU-based Shopify store selling physical products mainly to U.S./Canada customers, and we’re getting close to U.S. economic nexus thresholds.

I understand Shopify can help track/calculate tax, but I don’t want to manually deal with 50 states, registrations, filings, zero returns, remittance, notices, etc.

For other EU/non-U.S. founders who scaled into North America:

• Which sales tax service actually handled everything properly?
• Any hidden issues with foreign entities, U.S. bank accounts, Shopify Tax, or Streamlined Sales Tax?
• Did you set up a U.S. entity for payments/exit reasons, or just keep operating through your home-country company?

Looking for real experience from people who have already gone through this.
