Answer 1Sales taxes are levied under the laws of the state where the sale occurs.

The state requires the seller to charge the tax, and as the sale occurs at the sellers location, the tax is due regardless of where the buyer resides.

Depending on the state, and its laws, sales taxes are waived on a sale of an item which will be resold by the buyer, IF the buyer has a sales tax permit and will be collecting and paying sales tax proceeds to a state taxing authority.

This is my experience. I have lived in Oregon the majority of my life, with some time in Alaska, Washington, Texas, Illinois, and Virginia. The ONLY state I have ever had sales tax waived was in stores in Washington. If you are buying a non-consumable product, like a TV, CD, clothing, or such, you can show your Oregon ID without paying tax. If you eat there (restaurant) or have a service done, you pay tax, whether you live there or not. When I lived in other states, like Alaska and Illinois, I let it be known I was from out of state, but I always had to pay sales tax. So given this, if you are in a store outside Oregon, not counting the Washington exception, you will more than likely pay sales tax. It never hurts ask for a waiver, but they don't have to.

Sales commission on vacant land?

In my experience, it is 4% to 10% in a suburban area. It depends on how hard it is to sell. Vacant land in Manhattan may not need to pay any commission -- let the buyer pay it if they use an agent -- just put a for sale sign on the property. Vacant land in West Texas might need to pay 15% -- or "whatever it takes". The real answer, of course, is Whatever you and the sales agent have agreed to.


When Your Business Is Required to Pay Sales Tax?

There are two specific mechanisms which permit non-payment of sales tax by a business: exemption and resale. If a business is a non-profit, charity, or religiously-affiliated concern, it may qualify for sales tax exemption status. The states vary in their statutes regarding exemption qualifications. Many purchases demand the imposition of business to business sales tax. The only items subject to resale status are those which become components of the product being resold. For example, if a clock manufacturer purchases paper on which to print in-house created brochures about its clocks, that paper is taxable. But the same paper purchased by a printer to manufacture brochures which it sells to its customer is not taxable, by virtue of its resale status.


What would be an example of intrastate business?

Intrastate Your LLC or corporation must qualify to do business in any state where it is engaged in intrastatebusiness. This means that at least part of your business is conducted entirely within that state's borders. For example, if your business has a warehouse IN another state and you sell and ship from that warehouse to customers within that state, you are engaged in intrastate business in that state. Interstate On the other hand, a state can't make you qualify or pay taxes in that state if you only engage in interstate business to other states -- meaning that all of your business is conducted across state lines. For example, if you sell and ship merchandise from your home state to residents in other states, you are engaged in merely interstate business, which cannot be regulated by other states.
