How does The Precious Paw calculate sales tax charges?
The sales tax charged for an individual transaction is based on the ship-to address, which is defined as the location where the product is ultimately to be shipped/sent. Since The Precious Paw is located in New York, only those orders shipped within New York are charged sales tax. The tax rate is 8 5/8%. In most cases, sales tax will apply to the shipping and handling fee as well as the product price.
