Although tax is not required to be collected in states where International Living Publishing Ltd 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 at https://www.taxadmin.org/state-tax-agencies. 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. Please note that 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 accessed from the link below. You should use the Use Tax rate when calculating the tax to include on your order payment.  If you are unsure if the product you are purchasing is taxable, please contact Customer Service.  Please note that we do not own or control information contained on this website and we are merely providing the link for your convenience. http://thestc.com/
