Sales tax may apply to Grizzly orders even without a physical presence in a state, due to the South Dakota v. Wayfair ruling enabling economic nexus. Tax rates depend on the delivery address, local laws, product taxability, and exemptions. Grizzly must collect and remit tax where required and cannot waive legally mandated taxes. Specific state tax details and resources are provided for each U.S. state.
Sales tax may apply to your order even if Grizzly does not have a physical store or warehouse in your state.
Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, states may require retailers to collect sales tax based on the amount of business they conduct in the state. This is commonly called economic nexus. Because Grizzly meets the applicable requirements in most states, we are legally required to collect and remit tax on taxable orders shipped to those states.
How is my tax rate determined?
The rate charged depends on the laws of the state where your order is delivered. Depending on the state, the rate may be based on:
- The delivery address
- State, county, city, or other local taxes
- A simplified statewide rate for qualifying remote sellers
- Grizzly’s physical presence or business location within the state
- Whether the products or shipping charges are taxable
- A valid tax exemption associated with the order
Because these rules differ by state, the tax rate on your order may be different from the rate charged at a nearby store or at another address in the same state.
Can Grizzly change or waive the tax?
We cannot waive or adjust legally required tax based only on a customer’s request. If you believe your order was taxed incorrectly, please contact us with your order number and the reason you believe the tax should not apply.
If your organization is tax exempt, the exemption must be reviewed and approved for the applicable state. An exemption in one state does not necessarily apply to purchases shipped to another state. Please see Does Grizzly honor tax exempt purchases?
