Taxes are calculated and collected for states where we have a tax presence and the District of Columbia, and certain related local tax jurisdictions, based on seller-determined collection settings and any related information we request. This service does not calculate federal, state, or local product-based excise or similar gross receipt taxes (for example, a special fur clothing tax in Minnesota). They do calculate some taxes that are labeled as excise or gross receipt taxes, but that are commonly acknowledged to be sales and use taxes (for example, in New Mexico and Hawaii).
