What are the sales tax laws on an online business?
March 6th, 2010 | by admin |My business would not ship any actual product. It is a service business. People would purchase a membership and have access to my services. So, what are the sales tax laws for that type of online business?
Dear CM: This is state question and look at your states dept of taxation to see what services are taxed. You should also get registered with the states taxation authority(get a tax ID number) and learn your filing requirements. Keep good records and possiblly you can claim a home office and computer.
This advice was prepared based on our understanding of the tax law in effect at the time it was written as it applies to the facts that you provided. Click on my profile to read more. Errol Quinn Enrolled Agent

You should run that by the franchise tax board (that is who sales taxes go to) and find out the correct answer.
