Sales Tax made Easy-er

If your business sells product in several states, keeping up with the sales tax tables is always a challenge. And selling in a new state just adds to the burden. To make finding tax rates simpler, The FTA Links page presents a map of all 50 states.

When you click on the state in question, you will be taken directly to the states Department of Revenue. Here you can link directly to the sales tax rates and tables by county, if applicable.

Calculating sales tax for a home based business, such as Arts & Crafts, can be done using a spreadsheet, if you do not have a software package for inventories. My article How to Track Sales Tax in Your Arts & Crafts Business will give you step by step instructions on how to create a spreadsheet and set it up to calculate your sales tax.
