Do I need to collect sales tax as an Etsy seller?
As a venue, Etsy cannot provide specific legal advice to our members, which includes advice regarding taxes. It’s up to each seller to research their local laws regarding collecting and reporting applicable taxes for their Etsy sales. In the United States, tax regulations can vary greatly by location. If you are unsure about the tax laws in your region, we encourage you to consult an accountant or other expert in your area. If you determine that you need to collect sales tax for certain sales in your Etsy shop, you can use the Sales Tax settings to specify a tax rate to be applied to orders from each US state, Canadian province, or country other than the US and Canada. Learn more about Sales Tax settings. While Etsy provides a means to apply taxes to your transactions, we do not warrant that these tax amounts will fully satisfy your sales and use tax reporting obligations. For a final determination on these matters, please seek assistance from your tax advisor.
