As a business owner, it’s important to know which taxes you are responsible for collecting and remitting to the proper authorities. Depending on the products or services you sell, as well as your business location, you may be required to collect sales tax from your customers.

Wix is a website builder that allows users to create a website without any coding knowledge. You can use Wix to create a website for your business. If you plan to sell products or services on your Wix website, you may be wondering if Wix automatically collects sales tax.

The answer is: it depends. Wix is not responsible for collecting sales tax from your customers.

However, if you are required to collect sales tax, Wix does provide the necessary tools to help you do so.

PRO TIP: If you are selling products through your Wix website, you may be required to collect sales tax from your customers. Wix does not automatically collect sales tax for you. You are responsible for remitting any taxes that you collect to the appropriate tax authorities.

In order for Wix to help you collect sales tax, you will need to set up a payment processor that supports tax collection. Wix supports several popular payment processors, including PayPal and Stripe. Once you have set up your payment processor, you can enable tax collection in your Wix account settings.

Enabling tax collection in your account settings will cause the appropriate taxes to be added to your customers’ orders at checkout. You will then be responsible for remitting the collected taxes to the appropriate authorities.

Conclusion:

Sales taxes are levied by state and local governments on the sale of goods and services within their jurisdictions. In order for businesses to collect these taxes from their customers, they must first enable tax collection in their account settings with a supported payment processor.

Once enabled, the appropriate taxes will be added to customers’ orders at checkout. The business will then be responsible for remitting the collected taxes to the appropriate authorities.
