I'm looking to buy something from a seller via their website (only located in TX) from Texas. I'm from Mississiippi. I have to pay sales tax?

never seen that before, just Texas?


thanks

only if you live in Texas.

Yep, just for TX residents.

Also, if you buy from Amazon and it comes from their distribution center in your own state you have to pay.

thanks, i emailed the place in question about it they said *all* orders.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts states that sales tax to an out of state customer by a Texas company does not require a collection of sales tax.The company is misinformed or crooked.

What if I sell to customers outside of Texas? You do not need to collect sales tax on items you deliver directly to out-of-state locations. To document such a sale, your records must include proof of delivery, such as a bill of lading, a shipping invoice or a postal receipt. You may have to collect tax in another state if you are engaged in business there. You should contact the states where you buy or ship merchandise to find out if you are responsible for paying or collecting their taxes. The Multistate Tax Commission has a useful website at http://www.mtc.gov with links to the tax websites of other states.
