Hi!
Can somebody from the New York, USA help and guide me to set up my business tax for my shopify store? It is my first time to launch here and I don’t have any single idea with regards to this legal matters. Please kindly help me.
Hi I already have my store which is not open yet and i still don’t have any sales tax ID. How can you help me? Thanks.
Hi, @frc2 !
Thanks for reaching out in our Community forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.
In order to provide some context, Shopify does not file or remit your sales taxes for you. However, Shopify offers the necessary tools to help make things easier when it’s time to file and pay your taxes. We have a very thorough help document that covers all of the aspects you need to consider when setting up and collecting your taxes for your business. Please keep in mind that you should always check with a local tax authority to make sure that you charge your customers the correct sales tax rates.
In your case, we have a US tax reference for New York that highlights some special tax rules involves tax exceptions and liabilities.
If you have any other questions, feel free to follow up and let me know! Additionally, I’m always looking to help out merchants with ideas or feedback related to their stores. Are you planning to sell domestically? Or internationally as well?
