Sales tax is generally calculated on the total selling price of each item. Depending upon the state’s tax laws, the total selling price of the item may include shipping and handling charges.

Although tax is not required to be collected in states where The Monument Traders Alliance LLC is not registered, this does not necessarily mean the transaction is not subject to sales tax. Purchases may be subject to “use tax,” which must be remitted directly to the state by the customer purchasing the item.

Purchases are not exempt from sales tax solely because they are purchased on the internet, by catalog or by other remote means. Please contact the tax authorities in your state for additional information about your responsibilities for remitting use tax. Links to all the states’ tax administrative agencies can be found here.

Please note that the amount of estimated tax appearing on an order may differ from the sales taxes ultimately charged at the time of credit card authorization.

A sales tax rate calculator can be accessed from the link below. You may apply the use tax rate when calculating the tax to include on your order payment.
