Should I Collect Sales Tax on Wix?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:04 am

As an online business owner, you may be wondering if you should be collecting sales tax on your Wix platform. The answer to this question depends on a few factors, including where your business is located and where your customers are located.

If your business is located in a state that has a sales tax, then you are required to collect and remit that tax to the state. However, if your customers are located in a state without a sales tax, then you are not required to collect sales tax.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about using Wix to collect sales tax, be warned that there are some potential risks. First, Wix is not a tax expert and may not be up-to-date on the latest sales tax laws. Second, collecting sales tax can be complicated, so make sure you understand the requirements before using Wix to collect taxes. Finally, be aware that if you do collect sales tax on Wix and something goes wrong, you could be held liable for any resulting penalties or interest.

There are a few states that have what is called an “origin-based” sales tax, which means that businesses only have to collect sales tax if they are located in the state where the customer is located. For example, if your business is located in California but your customer is located in Oregon, then you would not have to collect sales tax from that customer.

The best way to determine if you should be collecting sales tax on your Wix platform is to consult with a tax professional or accountant. They will be able to help you determine if you have any nexus in states where you do business and advise you on the best way to collect and remit any taxes owed.
