A lot of new sellers dive right into their businesses, and are very concerned with doing things properly and legally.  We all know that sales tax is a thing, since we seem to pay it on every purchase, but we've never been on the "collection" end of that equation.  Today, I've sorted through pages of articles to bring you the straight skinny on how to deal with sales taxes in both the US and Canada.

The bottom line:  Until you are making over $30,000 in sales to Canadians, or $100,000+ in sales per year in the US, sales tax is not something you need to worry about.  If you are already registered, then go ahead and file for whatever states you are registered for sales tax, but don't rush out and start paying thousands of dollars to find out if you need to pay a couple dollars of tax.
