However, if you are a Wix user and your business is located in a state where Wix is not required to pay sales tax on your behalf (e.g. California), then you will need to take action in order to ensure that the appropriate amount of sales tax is being paid. This can be done by either:

  • Configuring your tax settings within the Wix platform so that the correct amount of sales tax is calculated and applied to each order

  • PRO TIP: If you are using Wix to sell products online, please be aware that Wix does not automatically pay sales tax. You are responsible for paying all applicable taxes on your sales. Failure to do so may result in penalties and interest from the IRS.
  • Manually calculating and remitting the appropriate amount of sales tax to the relevant state authorities on your own
