Sales Tax Requirements |
All Companies selling over the Internet are subject to the same sales tax collection requirements as any other retailer in the United States. Internet retailers are usually required to collect taxes where they have a physical selling presence. This bookstore is operated by Maserati North America, Inc. and is required to collect sales taxes in all 50 United States. NOTE: Electronically downloaded and on-line viewed (non-tangible) products are not subject to sales taxes. The Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA), which was signed into law on October 21, 1998, was intended to prevent state and local governments from imposing new or discriminatory taxes on Internet transactions and on Internet access. Despite the name of the Act, ITFA does not preclude state and local governments from imposing existing sales tax collection requirements on companies selling over the Internet. The sales tax charged can depend on many factors, including the type of item purchased, the identity of the seller, and the destination of the shipment. Items sold by Maserati Online Technical Bookstore and shipped to destinations in the 50 United States are subject to sales tax. If an item is subject to sales tax in the state to which the order is shipped, tax is generally calculated on the total selling price of each individual item. In accordance with state tax laws, the total selling price of an item will usually include shipping and handling charges and discounts. The tax rate used on your order will be the combined state and local rate for the address where your order was shipped at the time it was shipped. Maserati Online Technical Bookstore obtains sales tax rates from a leading tax rate service provider.
